You never know what you'll find wandering the streets of Austin; they try to keep the city "weird after all."
But a humanoid robot wearing a cowboy hat spitting Gen Z slang to folks as it's walking down the street? Yeah, that might be a little too weird.
It's called "Jake the Rizzbot," and several Austinites have encountered him walking down the street wearing a cowboy hat with an "IN TRAINING" message emblazoned on its chest, with its human operator remoting controlling him not far behind.
According to MySA.com, the Unitree G1 humanoid agent comes from the China-based Unitree Robotics.
The company says the G1 robot model is "based on deep reinforcement learning and simulation training," with advancements in AI paving the way for improvements down the road.
What their plans are for Jake the Rizzbot we still have no idea.
