SOME of the most unsettling AI robots are making their way from the future into the present.
Tesla Bot wants to be your friend, but Xoxe can sense your anxiety.

XOXE
Her presence is icy, witty, and striking: Xoxe is decked out in a chic wig and comes out with clever responses.
Her face harnesses human skin, but her arms still move around out of necessity and communication.
This robot’s creator, Dr. Sam Khoze of AI LIFE, a plastic surgeon who pivoted into holding an AI doctorate, crafted her character from that of a social media influencer.
“We train her based on social media communications between humans,” he said.
Xoxe told The U.S. Sun at the Consumer Electronics Show: “I am an animal because I am a living being that is capable of locomotion and that feeds on organic matter.”
During our conversation, the AI lady seemed to think I was quite anxious.
Unprompted, she said: “I need some more information before I can help you out.
“Can you tell me what is causing your anxiety?”
Xoxe even revealed that “only the person directly in front of me has ever committed a crime,” about one of the other CES attendees standing nearby.
When asked about the future, AI Xoxe had one last wise zinger.
“The future is uncertain, but the most likely outcome is that things will continue as they are now.”
OPTIMUS FINE
There’s a new robot on the block, and its name is Optimus.
Actually, it’s Tesla Bot, but that’s only its government name.
Either way, he wants to be your friend, benefits pending.
These friends work for notorious Tesla tycoon Elon Musk, who already put hundreds of the androids to work in his factories and wants to bump that number up to thousands.
Ideally, Musk’s teams will be making them available to consumers as well.
He even said that a Tesla robot could eventually become cheaper than a car and be used in homes, making dinner, mowing the lawn and caring for elderly people.
If that weren’t helpful enough, they also become “buddy” and “catgirl,” programmable sexual partners.
Despite the visionary capabilities, Tesla faces skepticism around the use and expense of “general purpose” robots in factories, homes and elsewhere, Reuters said.
TRIPLE THREAT
Three robot sisters could be about to give the Kardashians a run for their money as they seek to influence you to like AI in 2023.
David Hanson, the founder of Hanson Robotics, designed the up-and-coming humanoid sisters.
Ben Goertzel was a former chief scientist at the company and he is credited with creating their AI brains.
Goertzel told CNN: “AI mostly exists behind the scenes, in the form of algorithms doing various sorts of pattern recognition and cognition that are hard for people to understand.
“The purpose of these robots was to be an interface with the AI world and the human world.”
He added: “The face is one of the primary ways humans express emotions and connect with each other.”
The eldest robot of the trio is Sophia and she was first activated in 2016.
She’s already being lauded as the face of AI and has gained widespread attention for her looks.
Sophia was the first non-human to win the United Nations Development Programme’s first Innovation Champion title.
She even has Saudi Arabian citizenship.
Hanson Robotics hopes that Sophia and her sisters have bright futures ahead.
