A video circulating online depicts a humanoid robot bending over behind a man seated on a stool, with claims that it showcases a real-life AI-powered robot. In the clip, a woman crouches to pick up a bag from the robot, appearing to confuse it. However, the video has been digitally manipulated. In the original footage, a man—not a robot—is present. The figure has been replaced with a CGI robot through digital editing.
