Our Ai App "24 Me"               

They have a lot of features like they can give your assistance on what to do, be on time, notes, calendar and much more. About 1.7 to 1.8 billion people worldwide engage in the Al tools such as the Ai app called 24 me. 

“Death of the Auther’s Ai. "Yebo"

They had some good things with the Ai they used like this. Ai helped her with getting her life organized. Yebo connected her to social media which helped her from the kidnappers. In the chapter 40 Wala Day on page 337 Zelu is being chased by the kidnappers and she utilizes the Yebo personal assistant app to make called just by activating it through her voice. The app also connected with social media enabling the world to see and help her.

"Koro Koro" Humes

The humes, are human-like robots. But the one I was given is Koro Koro. I am just going to call them Koro. But Koro mainly specifys in Engineering and inventing. even helping Ankara at navigation and such.

I was not really able to find current like human robots used for engineering and inventing. But the closest I got was maybe the Tesla robots being made. There have been a few cases where I have seen videos of people using human-like robots to do simple tests. Mostly agility ones. Like doing back-flips and such. There have been plenty of cases of machines used to connect certain things and do measurements. That's kind of all I can think of or find at the moment.

Robots do exist in real life but not to the degree the Humes are. In real life the current most advanced robot is Ameca by Engineering Arts, it currently is a design platform for future AI and robots, and currently has no self autonomous capabilities.

Humes are a faction of robots in a futuristic Nigeria with no humans, they have physical bodies, a strong relationship to stories and cultures, the inability to create something new, empathetic, and are a tribal group.

A list of some Humes are: Ankara, Oga Chukwu, Shay, Koro Koro, Jim, Gele, and Egusi.

Humes

Humes in Death of the Author are human looking robots that help people by doing tasks that would normally require a real person. In real life, early versions of this already exist through humanoid robots like Tesla’s Optimus and Boston Dynamics robots, which can walk, carry items, and assist in work spaces, but are still much less advanced than Humes.

Airport security bots

They are just like how we have metal dectors and airport security people and they make sure everything is safe and kept secure. As well as they allow who has freedom and who doesn't to travel at least. Along with we may get even more high security for things like aitports.

Today we have electric cars and some of these are self-driving. Self-driving cars still need some assistants, for example you still have to manually put in your destination. There has been a lot of backlash on these cars and safety concerns but engineers are continuing to makes adjustments.

In the book "Death of the Author" the autonomous Car worked a lot like self-driving cars. They were used as almost an ubar and that's also the main use of self-driving cars today. In the book the autonomous Car was able to sense a plastic bag and stopped because of it. I don't believe cars today has the ability to sense a plastic bag.

Hell, I don't know. I'm tired, I have a headache, and a sore throat to top it all off.

today in the real world, they used for all kinda stuff like cool vid shots and even in the news

t

the Exoskeletons helped zelu walk and even run. around the middle to end of the book she gets this technology. In real life we are making Exoskeletons to help people walk. Exoskeletons can also make it easy for people to walk or run long distastes. But in the end Exoskeletons are still being developed so they will not be seen used in a common manner.

The roBoats in Death of the Author connect to real-world autonomous boats by showing how AI transportation can replace human jobs, control borders, and make decisions about movement and survival without empathy.

DNA splicing: The technology (CRISPr) has been used on human patients, curing a child of a metabolic disease called Severe carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency.

Custodian robots in death of the author are robots that help people, These are robots that do human tasks such as Ankara who searches for story's, or Osun who takes care of the sacred Grove (in the end of the book). There are many custodian robots here on earth such as a Robot Vacuum, Or a snowblower robot, Or a lawnmower robot.

We do have some sort of "ghost shells" those being Siri Alenexa and any other device that is vocally intelligent without a body, outside of a computer.

In the book, exos enabled Zelu to walk and also run after her accident. In the real world, exos are used to help people walk. They are used in the medical field to help people regain mobility and strength. They help stroke patients with guided exercise during therapy. Exos are finding their way in a variety of fields. Industrial and occupational exoskeletons are being used on factory floors, construction sites, and warehouses to reduce the strain of physical work.

Passive exos can be said to help people perform physically demanding tasks. But they do not increase human capabilities per se.

p102 She called the vehicle, and she was off with no driver

Today, we have autonomous vehicles

today the NHTSA has five levels of classification, from 0 people driving to five completely by itself

very similar to today

This connects to our own reality because AI is an algorithm of data collected from us that cannot really generate anything 'new' but recycles the information we have put on the internet throughout the years. I think that AI companies want to create ways for artificial intelligence to have physical senses like the Humes. They also want to create an AI super intelligence and gather as much data from the world as they can so in a way its like a collective hive mind of information, sort of like the Ghosts.

Ankara is similar to robots out in the world today, and example could be Ameca an engineered arts humanoid robot. This robot is responsible for school settings, elderly care facilities, and robotics/AI research. Uses multiple voice and face recognition sensors to detect human emotions and communicate through lifelike facial expressions and gestures. This is similar to Ankara in the sense that it can be used educationally to collect knowledge and teach others. This is quite the technological advancement as this robot can interact with humans without being strictly instructed, on what to say, what to do, and other basic instructions.

Just how there was a custodian robot taking care of the "abandoned house" There are real life custodian robots that clean up the messy floors of our homes. There are also robots that "deliver" food to homes insuring it gets there safely.
