Well, thats not surprising, given the fact that anyone who still looks up to people like trump and musk are merely 'artificially intelligent'.

It would be easier to simply list the things about which Elmo isn't lying.

Come on, that's just deliberately bad. It's not that hard to have a beer serving robot. My company had an event 2 weeks ago with a beer serving robot that actually worked.

It's not hard to make a robot with a single purpose, like serving beer, but it is hard to make one which could serve a wide variety of tasks — like a human worker — including serving beer.

I believe Elmo is trying to build a robot to replace "non-skilled labour" or some such shit.
