I'll believe this works when I see it.

I expected to see one in action. Click bait, or did it happen so fast that I missed it?

I would be interested to see how this works in reality. I have balanced many machines in situ in my job, so that part is totally do-able.
From that article, I could see how the tires are removed and installed as well as how the road force is set up, I'm more curious about wheel weights. Like how is some sort of AI robot gonna remove old weights, clean the wheel so the added weights actually stick, not to mention put them on with the wheel still on the vehicle? How are they gonna squeeze past the rotors and dust shields? Rears would have more room than the front, but still curious. Or is that something the tech monitoring the machine takes care of?

They have robots that will perform eye surgery on people so I don’t find it that hard to believe a machine can be programmed to install and balance tires.
Wouldn't trust that either lol.

I definitely wouldn’t either lol they say the robots have a higher level of accuracy than humans… That’s until it malfunctions mid-operation and you come out of the hospital looking like a Picasso painting 😂

I'm apprehensive about letting a human DR near my eyes no way I'm letting a robot near them! I think AI is good for some things/fields but IMHO having them operate is taking it way too far.

You want to replace counter workers at fast food joints with them I'm all for it. Once they mandated $17/hr (in some states) I knew this would be the future because no fast food business can sustain that rate. Plus I don't eat there anyways but from what I've heard most are already replaced by a Kiosk.

I've had two cataract surgeries, and in June will have my second vitrectomy. I was not too nervous, about 24 years ago I had Lasik surgery. I was nervous as F*** for that, which turned out fine so I guess I was slightly mentally prepared for my recent surgeries. I am seeing better than ever now, but can't wait to get the floaters out of my left eye. Oh, and did I mention my cataract surgeon is hot? So there's that.

I think you might have mentioned it 3-4 hundred times. 😜

Did you come to that observation before or after the surgery? :LOL: :LOL:
Before, my left eye hadn't gotten real blurry like my right eye did.
Don't get me started on my dermatologist, who I only ever see wearing nothing but my skivies. Been going to her for years and she still looks like she's a petite 20 year old! Damn!
