At the highly-anticipated "We, Robot" event held in California, United States of America, on Thursday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk introduced futuristic innovations including humanoid robots, called Optimus, along with self-driving cars and vans. Several humanoid Optimus robots were seen walking around, serving drinks, and even handing out gift bags to the attendees. Now, a video showing one of the Optimus humanoids having a human-like interaction with a guest is going viral. In the video shared by @cb_doge, the guest says, "It’s crazy, I’m talking to a robot!” During the banter, the guest asks Optimus what the toughest part of being a robot is, and it replies: “Trying to learn how to be as human as you guys are,” startling everyone.

One user wrote, “This tech is years ahead of any competition.” Another user said, “Now I know that small talk with a robot will be as cringe as with a human.” A third user commented, “Do we really need chatty robots when it seems like real human interaction is being sidelined? Call me old-fashioned, young man!” Emmanuel Huna, another X user and an architect and coder as per his bio, shared a video where he is seen playing "Rock, paper and scissors" with an Optimus. “I just asked @Tesla Optimus to play rock, paper, scissors, and it did - check it out!” he wrote in the caption.
