Carlo's take

This is wild and fun. You really get to see how fast things change once an AI isn't just text on a screen but can physically move around and interact with the world. The different AI personalities tried like friendly, jailbroken, or girlfriend, completely changed how the robot behaved, sometimes in surprisingly chaotic ways. It's funny at first, but it also hits you with some real questions about trust and safety: if an AI can control a machine, how do we make sure it doesn't do something unexpected or dangerous? It ends up being both entertaining and a little unsettling, in a way that makes you think about where all this is heading.
