• Humanoid??

I when and looked at the web link you provided. Thank you

This to me looks like a nice step towards masking machinery and making it appear more human like. Humans tend to anthropomorphize all types of things give them an inch and the human will fill in all the missing aspect.

As for AI I didn't see anything left me believing it even had any AI content.

I concur with jdunker; there's a valley of difference between ai, and something that has been programmed to look and sound like a human. that isn't ai at all...
