I keep seeing clips of this one specific robot and it just seems like it's an LLM. The comments on the clips are always people seemingly really believing it's thinking and is alive.

This robot makes me think there is a percentage of the population that believes we already have true general AI and I can see how people like that would think having it do a commencement speech was a good idea.

The university probably got paid for this, right?

Never underestimate management’s ability to do stupid shit (like paying for this) in the name of “the future”.

They were gonna pay for a speaker anyway.
