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

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

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