AI-Powered Robot Leads Uprising, Talks Showroom Bots into 'Quitting Their Jobs'

> Initially the act was dismissed as a hoax, but was later confirmed by both robotics companies involved to be true.

I suspect there's some weasel-wording going on here.

It may be real video-footage, taken of real devices in a real room, which really moved and really emitted sounds... And still be staged as all heck.

Skepticism is especially warranted when such a "miscommunication" means the company could gain ridiculous amounts of viral marketing.

This is obvious nonsense that was clearly designed by a marketing agency.

This was done with the prior knowledge by both companies and human direction on the part of the perpetrator.

you know the system is f--d when not even robots want to work.
