Elon Musk humiliated after proudly showing off new dancing robot before his own AI admits real-world use is 'limited'
Elon Musk's plan to show off his dancing robot has left the Tesla CEO red-faced after his own AI made an embarrassing admission. On X, which Musk owns, the billionaire shared an impressive'real real-time' video of Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, demonstrating some flashy dance moves. However, when a curious commenter asked the billionaire's AI, Grok, to rate the robot, the chatbot declared Optimus' usefulness is'limited'. Adding to the humiliation, the AI then ranked Optimus at the bottom of its list of the best humanoid robots. In response to the user's question, Grok wrote: 'Tesla's Optimus robot shows advanced mobility with its dancing, highlighting strong balance and coordination. 'However, its real-world use is limited, mainly in Tesla's factories for simple tasks, with broader deployment planned for 2026.' Putting Optimus at the bottom of its top-five ranking, the AI added that the robot has'impressive mobility but early in practical application.'
