Heck, part of the reason these errors stand out is because they don’t read as smoothly as it could. If I’ve missed errors, it’s potentially because those ones could be defended.
(Obligatory acknowledgement that dialogue can go in all sorts of grammar-iffy directions in pursuit of authenticity.)
When I decided to revisit basic English grammar, I truly did not expect to find so many examples of it being ignored in published works.
I know a popular response to this sort of thing is “it’s just general guidelines,” but I think the rules would improve most of the examples I’ve noticed.
The idea of humanoid robots being used in factories is an immature one.
It’s an idea that probably sounds like it’d work to all of us at some point in our lives (possibly before considering employment concerns), but I say it’s immature because reality reveals its flaws. It’s a fantasy.
I’m gradually figuring out a Rubik’s Cube. I’m not looking for tips, I’m gradually sorting out the logic (for example, I know how to check if an individual cube is where it’s meant to be).
It’s half fidget toy, half puzzle. Which is to say I randomize it very well 😅
Individual costs per unit, maintenance, etc.
I actually do think there’s an argument for them in hazardous, unpredictable environments. If we ever actually do get to Mars (HA!), maybe then they’ll make sense for assorted tasks (if their systems can handle Mars sand, anyway).
Granted, then there’s the problem of how you tell it what you want, and suddenly it’s LLM town all over again, isn’t it?
Granted, if it’s exclusively textures, (or something like that), it could reasonably be limited to tags and sliders and such. No need to communicate in sentences.
I feel Gen AI can be a bit like having an aircraft carrier when a small boat would do.
Or fully humanoid robots in a factory when you just need rotating robot arms and similar.
Or a wooly mammoth guard dog for a shack.
I bring this up in part because of the thought that there could be smaller, focused, less controversial systems for specific things that didn’t vacuum up the internet like Kirby at a buffet.
Like an auto-texture generator trained entirely on authorized images, and limited to that purpose.

"Who? What? Where? Why? How?"
"Do you really need to ask where?"
"Actually, yes. I'm very bad with directions."

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s not practical.
- Over-designed and overly-complex for the majority of tasks they‘d do.
- Require portable battery power as they presumably would not be stationary.
- Excessive power usage due to being built for numerous tasks instead of just one thing.
