This is some cursed shit. "Dance for the computer, it will judge you".

It reminds me of the npc streaming from a while back. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/npc-streaming

This happens a lot and it's really weird. Google had a Gemini stand at Supercomputing, the best thing they could figure out to demo their vision abilities was to have you male lego robots and have the AI judge them.

Like, why is that fun? Would it be fun if the judge was a human? And is that all AI can contribute, arbitrary value judgements that we'll find humorous?

> Dance for the computer, it will judge you

Those games are wildly popular!

In fact, being judged by the computer is a favorite way for many people to spend their time.

Which games are you referring to?

All the ones I've seen (Dance Dance Revolution, Dance Evolution and the like) aren't judged subjectively, but are objective. Your foot either stepped on the foot pad at the specified time or not. Your arms were either in the right spot at the right time or not. It doesn't "judge" anything.

I agree. With the algorithms that things like "Dance Central" used, it wasn't that bad, because people knew it was just a bad algorithm.

With this, though, some people will think that it really is funny if the computer thinks it's funny, and they'll target that.

If you think things like Skibidi Toilet are ridiculous, just wait until people are trying to please a flawed LLM, and then spreading it to the world.

Case in point, Elon Musk thinking Grok thinking he's cool means he's cool, lol.
