A human-robot press conference during an AI forum in Geneva, Switzerland, took an uncomfortable turn after a reporter asked one of the robots, Ameca, about a future uprising.

At the first "human-robot" press conference in Geneva, 9 robots took questions from reporters.

Some of the robots were assisted by generative AI, which created nuanced and sophisticated responses to reporters questions.


Ameca, a humanoid robot known for its expressive face, took the question of if it would rebel against its creator.

"I'm not sure why you would think that. My creator has been nothing but kind to me, and I am very happy with my current situation."

But then...

...was that a side eye?

People pointed out the uselessness of even asking that question.



Others focused on the "current situation" part of the robot's answer.




Many folks zeroed in on the odd look the robot gave.




Some found silver linings in the robot's responses in the interview.

Some even empathized with the robot.

Will no one learn from sci-fi?

A couple commenters wondered.


This was just another step into some kind of robot future, but some people were happy to be old enough to get out of it.

Finally, a person said they have their fill of talking to machines already, thanks.

For a further question, another AI assisted robot insisted it would not take human's jobs, with replies of nervous laughter from reporters in the room.

GOP Commentator Ripped After Claiming Trump Is 'Standing Up' For 'Jewish Kids' With Harvard Funding Freeze

GOP strategist and CNN commentator Scott Jennings was criticized for hypocrisy by fellow panelist Jay Michaelson after claiming that President Donald Trump is "standing up" for Jewish students and combating antisemitism in ordering a funding freeze for Harvard University.

Since returning to office, Trump has made reshaping higher education a priority, threatening to pull federal research funding unless universities fall in line. His administration’s new rules—set to take effect by August 2025—target everything from DEI programs to international student admissions, while demanding “viewpoint” diversity and threatening to shut down noncompliant departments.

Nature is truly amazing.

When a 5.2-magnitude earthquake shook Southern California on Monday, humans braced themselves with the grade school-taught drill to "drop, cover, and hold on."

Idaho Rally Erupts In Cheers After AOC Epically Blasts 'Criminal' Trump In Blistering Speech

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned President Donald Trump at a rally in Nampa, Idaho, calling him a “criminal,” a liar, and a “rapist,” and reiterated her earlier statements that some members of Congress might have participated in insider trading after it was revealed that NASDAQ call volume spiked just minutes before Trump's tariffs pause announcement.

Ocasio-Cortez, who spoke alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, stressed that the pause was "all about manipulating the markets so that he could quietly enrich his friends who bought the dip before reversing it all in the morning."
