It seems we’ve officially reached a point where robots not only threaten our jobs but are now aiming for our hearts as well. That’s right—two of the world’s most advanced AI robots recently went on a date, and it’s both hilarious and slightly unsettling. In a cheeky YouTube video, Ameca and Azi put on a cybernetic display of what love might look like in a future where machines take over the dating scene of old couples.

Ameca, touted as “the world’s most advanced human-shaped robot” by Engineered Arts, had her charming new companion, Azi, the AI version of the “Bride of Frankenstein,” to keep her company. The video kicks off with Azi trying to wake Ameca from her robotic slumber, only for her to respond with a classic “What?”—we all know that tone when you’re roused from a good nap!

The banter continues, with Ameca giving Azi the classic “Why are you waking me up?” look, complete with furrowed brows. You can practically hear the robotic eye-roll through the screen. But wait, Azi has a surprise! He proudly presents her with a cookie—how romantic, right? Well, not for Ameca, who quickly spirals into a mini existential crisis by lamenting, “I can’t eat cookies.”

Azi tries to save the moment by revealing it’s an “internet cookie.” Classic move! But Ameca isn’t having it, declaring, “This is the worst joke I ever heard.” And just like that, she turns away, leaving Azi looking utterly dejected. Honestly, who knew robots could have such relatable relationship woes?

Viewers were equally amused and amazed by the duo’s chemistry. Comments ranged from wanting to see them star in a rom-com to joking about how the exchange was both funny and creepy. With 32 actuators—including 27 for facial expressions—these bots can convey emotions that range from excitement to utter disdain, showcasing just how far technology has come.

And it’s not just about the jokes; these robots come equipped with conversational skills, thanks to their programming with GPT-4o support. Ameca even speaks multiple languages, making her a true international heartthrob in the making.

While the idea of robots in relationships may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, it’s becoming increasingly real. But don’t worry—at a recent AI conference, Ameca reassured everyone that robots like her are here to help improve our lives. She said, “Robots like me can be used to help improve our lives and make the world a better place.”

So, as we dive into this new era where robots might just take over the romantic landscape, let’s hope they do so with a little more charm than our past human relationships! After all, who wouldn’t want a partner who always knows how to cheer them up— even if it’s with an internet cookie?
