Below is a chart that I asked ChatGPT to make.
I wonder if over the next few years (or at max a decade), some humanoid sports will make their way to the global top 10 sports (played completely by humans, today)?
I don’t know. But I don’t see why not. We, humans, will watch anything that’s entertaining. What’s happening today is already entertaining.
Though I may like to mention here that in this event - held in China - soccer and table tennis were the only two sports from the global top ten list. There was a lot of running, obstacle jump etc kind of thing that China had.
Another question that I am asking myself is - at some point in time…
Would the spectators also include humanoids?
Not very clear what for. But don’t want to overrule the possibility. What do you think?
Also, what about the coaches?
Today, the tactical coaches who work with engineers building and managing these humanoids, come from coaching / playing experience with human-teams. But over time, would the skill-set required to be a coach for humanoids become fundamentally different (compared to what’s needed when working with human sports)? In fact, at what point would the engineers just not need human coaches at all (for humanoid sports teams)? They could surely manage to train the humanoid team-members with only data-analytics?
One more thing - would there be any use-case where humans and humanoids can participate in some sports together, as a team? Which sport would that most likely be?
I think I have endless questions right now. So I will ask just one more and then move on. Feel free to add to these thoughts, in the comment section?
So here’ my last one (on this topic, for this post) - what new sports could emerge now that humanoids are playing in tournaments like these?
