    People are already jumping to defend it as “a preview on where technology is headed”.

    How would they know? Musk and his minions keep lying about their technology.

    How is this any different than fraudster Trevor Milton of Nikola showing footage of Nikola vehicles using gravity to go downhill, but pretending that they were a functioning concept and running on their own power?

      To be fair, modern AI voices sound pretty real. Making it artificial would have been a tell in it’s own right.

      They were humans pretending to be robots, these are actually robots that are being remotely controlled, rather than being fully autonomous.
