After visiting Generalist AI, Will Knight reports a 'ChatGPT moment' for robotics. He observed robot arms mastering tasks like stacking cups or retrieving money from purses after watching short demo videos, without specific training. The key highlight is improvisation: robots used alternative tools when one was missing or switched arms to get a better grip, demonstrating generalization similar to LLMs.
