“It was a traditional sequence the monks practice and the robots were being remotely controlled to follow their lead

“I was just shocked, amazed and quite bewildered.

“We were in a rush but I was like, ‘I have to see this’.”

In an ominous warning, he added: “If you compare the robots of 2025 that performed at Chinese new year festival and 2026, there is a vast improvement in capability.

“It is kind of scary.”

Viewers were just as shocked.

“This definitely isn’t.

“They’re ten times further than what you’re seeing.”

Another said: “I need to learn Chinese.”

Dez Fitzgawa added: “People keep saying China versus USA stuff when the real threat to all of humanity is being developed in front of our faces.

“Don’t pick sides pick humanity.”

And someone else said: “Meanwhile our bots are used for Uber Eats instead of training.”
