The hand is quicker than the eye, but is the hand quicker than the AI?
Doug McKenzie and Ryan Oakes are professional magicians and developers, who base their “tricks” on technology – Magic 2.0. Their motivation for working with Misty is the ability to translate their code into a 3D response, which is exciting. They have been using an Amazon Alexa in their show as their assistant. While audiences enjoyed her, Doug and Ryan found her limiting. (Her personality is only based her voice; everything is driven by a request followed by a simple audio response.) With Misty, they can develop her into her own being. She can be endowed with a personality. She can be autonomous to act and do things on her own. Her numerous sensors (and the ability to add more) give the two many options to create more complex pieces of magic, which makes her “limitless” in their words.
