YES, BUT WHICH ONE OF THESE IS THE ROBOT?!?

THE ONE ON THE LEFT OR THE ONE ON THE RIGHT??

(The one on the left is too lifelike. Obviously the human.)

@cstross empowering children?? To what, have more nightmares
@cstross aren't both somehow remote controlled? 😏
@cstross I don't think the one in the right would like its chances with the Voight-Kampff.
@cstross I'm getting real Ghost In the Shell vibes here.

@cstross

Surely we can figure this out from first principles?

Which is the one that is partnered up with a fellow member of the same species that cannot figure out how to walk up a stopped escalator?

That one had to leave after 7 minutes, whereas the other one apparently has a longer battery lifetime.

Melania Trump brings an AI-powered robot to the White House — and says there could be more of them soon

The storied White House East Room has welcomed politicians, foreign dignitaries, war heroes, celebrities and elite athletes, but on Wednesday, it was the setting for an extremely robotic speech introducing first lady Melania Trump.

@cstross They're going to have to change the paint job if they want a proper stand-in after he karks it.
@cstross The one on the right is just another robot with a flesh-suit applied. Not a very realistic one.
