That’s some serious hype for something that barely moves.

Ya I wasn’t that impressed either. Definitely way over hyped by headline. It’s a way less awesome xenobot that doesn’t actually do anything without significant human input.

It’s not much of a robot if it requires a person pumping air into it to move. That’s like saying a bike is a robot, as long as you’ve got someone pedaling.

It’s actually the perfect metaphor for all the AI hype.
