“What’s the hardest thing about being a robot?: Tesla's Optimus robot stuns with chilling reply at ‘We, Robot’ event | Video

Tesla’s latest creation, the Optimus robot, took center stage in California during the company’s highly anticipated ‘We, Robot’ event, held at Warner Bros. Studios. The spectacle featured a lineup of Tesla’s humanoid robots, with CEO Elon Musk declaring that Optimus had “progressed dramatically year after year” since it was first announced in 2021.

Musk described Optimus as Tesla’s “most significant project to date,” according to Daily Express UK. He emphasized the robot’s versatility, saying, “It’ll do anything you want. It can be a teacher, babysitting your kids, it can walk your dog, mowing your lawn, get groceries. Just be your friend, and serve drinks. Whatever you can think of, it will do.”

A demonstration goes viral and raises concerns

Following the event, a video surfaced on social media platform X, showcasing a conversation between Optimus and a human participant named John. The clip quickly went viral, sparking both fascination and apprehension among viewers.

In the exchange, Optimus opens by inquiring about John’s well-being and origin, to which John responds with his San Jose neighbourhood. Optimus responds warmly, discussing the training environment where it and other robots are developed, describing the people there as “wonderful, super people.”

But the conversation took a chilling turn when John asked, “What’s the hardest thing about being a robot?” After a pause, Optimus replied, “Trying to learn how to be as human as you guys are.” The robot’s answer elicited a laugh from John, yet Optimus continued, “And that’s something I try to do harder every day and I hope that you’ll help us become that.”

Audience reactions

The interaction left many viewers unsettled, with one remarking, “’Learning to be as human as you are’ is crazy.” Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “I’m scared of that response. Machines don’t have the limitations humans do and can adapt based on responses.” A different viewer expressed mixed feelings, stating, “On one hand, I’m excited about such a future… On the other hand, I have a feeling that it will be another invention that, despite assurances, will further alienate people and negatively affect us all.”

Some skeptics, however, questioned the robot’s capabilities. One user on X wrote, “Fake. I’m convinced that’s a human feeding voice lines through the robot. It sounds too natural, even interrupting like I do when there’s a delay in Xbox chat. Evidence of a voice actor in control.” Another user echoed, “I guarantee you that’s a human speaking remotely through a mic and speaker.”

As Tesla’s humanoid ambitions continue to push the boundaries of technology, reactions to Optimus underscore a growing debate: Can machines ever truly be “human,” and what implications would that hold for society?

While Musk promises a world where robots can serve as friends and helpers, the uneasy feelings raised by the recent demonstration suggest a complex journey ahead in the integration of robotics into daily life.
