And this is proof of how dumd and useless most humanity is this days. Tjey don't even watch the whole thing and go screaming 'The End Is Here!!' and the same guys that created the video explains that it's just an Art Project just like that old video with the killing mini drones!!

Were there people who thought it was real?

I think Robots will expliot our emotions to their advantage and to humans detriment eventually as well.

Am I the only one who sympathize with the robot which attacked by people?

I still feel Bad for the Robo buddy

This is abuse!!

The bleeding heart Dems will have a new cause now. These robots are not only beaten, they are separated from their families..

As if that's not CLEARLY the direction everything's going. Just give it time.

The people that saw the entire video and still though it was real are likely the same people that think all of the commercials during Saturday Night Live are real

This video is hilarious! Who cares if it was real? It’s a friggin robot!

After all the beatings, that robot will cut you down and even kill you :))

i was waiting for a flying kick after some bruce lee sound...

It’s leg one action was cool.

This story has so many pathetic angles, however cnn sayingnoeoole were worried about a robot revolution is a completely made up story. The pathetic part was the people feeling sorry for the robot but nobody saw that and in the end thought it was real.

oh what a relief.........................NOT

One day... we'll regret this.

CGI has become so good now you can easily fake video footage

Cnn viewers are so stupid that cnn has to explain a paradoy video 😂😂

FakeNews fake Robots ..at least the robot got revenge!

Seriously people feeling sorry for robots now? What is this fallout 4

Humans are stupid, they're creating their own enemy.

Never!

Not fake. Maybe, a warning to place ethical boundaries on the development of AI. The Matrix, the terminator. President Lincoln once warned that America could not be defeated by an outside aggressor. But, only by an internal foe, let us heed the warning of this great American.

No shit

LOL!

In that case. Here's another info... Cats acutally cant play Piano.

Either way, robots like that freak me out...

Uh which fool thought this video was real? The CGI is really good, but if people can’t tell CGI from reality here, then we have a different problem.

whether real or fake, abusing is the worst and the videos are always disturbing.

People will believe anything ...

The 'Bosstown Dynamics' instead of 'Boston Dynamics' legend says it all. But no one saw that.

Yeah, I mean... Kind of duh?

I didn’t know it was CGI, but I Never once thought it was real.. even when it did the whole karate chop thing.

They are testing the robot. Still though, robot revolution will happen!

Tell me sir, when did you stop beating your robot.

The_SickMatt you gotta be shitting on me lol

Got a little worried there! Nicely done.

If you watched the full, original vid, they show how it was green screened at the end. So, , more misleading of readers does nothing but damage your credibility regardless of the significance of the subject matter.

Bla bla bla..... it’s only a matter of time. Elysium, IRobot, Robocop etc. Hollywood says a LOT, for those who pay attention 😄

People need to lighten up. This is just your everyday, run of the mill, robot hate crime.

Wuss

So it should fit perfectly into your daily reports ClownNewsNetwork

If you can’t tell in the first 5 seconds that’s a CGI robot then I’ve got some sharknado insurance you might be interested in.
