Summary
Elon Musk became the butt of more than a few jokes after internet users pointed out Tesla’s robot demo wasn’t all it appeared to be. And it’'s interesting to see robot manufacturers now include assurances in their videos that they’re not doing the same deceptive magic trick.
Musk helped provide a public service by increasing transparency in the robotics space. Nobody wants to get caught fudging a demo. That’s the kind of thing that makes people incredibly reluctant to trust you in the future. At least when Musk brought out a human dancing in a robot suit everybody knew it was fake.
