The "Museum of the Future" has a new robot host and I think it's a sign that the future is going to be filled with really creepy robots

In the past everyone thought the future was going to be 45% flying cars, 45% pill meals and 10% robot dogs.

Turns out it's just the robots, and it's not even robot dogs, just creepy human robots:

The 'world's most advanced' humanoid robot, has been put to work greeting visitors at a museum in Dubai, UAE, after assuring staff she's not there to 'replace' them.

Ameca, a bot created by Cornwall-based firm Engineered Arts, is able to answer questions and offer directions at the Museum of the Future.

It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate speech and can make different facial expressions, like frowning, grinning, winking and pursing its lips.

Yeah those "different facial expressions" are deeply unsettling:

Seriously, they couldn't have done better than this?

I think I will stay with my feet firmly planted in the past, thank you so much.
