Despite the polarising opinions, the video has sparked a broader conversation about the intersection of technology and gastronomy, highlighting the immense possibilities that emerge when innovation meets tradition.
One user commented, “Where can we buy this? Will add it to our robotic arm! Robotic Jalebi is one of the key milestones for singularity!” Another added, “more like sweet noodles.” A third user, impressed, wrote, “that’s a pretty wild attempt at using a 3D printer nozzle to make jalebis! It’s clear that whoever came up with this idea was feeling adventurous and creative, but perhaps they didn’t fully consider the practicality of it all.”
