This is probably AI. Which further proves my point: got damn clankers!

Yeah this one is tough. It has a lot of the vibes of AI video, but doesn't actually have some of the biggest tells that I can see. The robot design is very consistent. The environment too.

My guess would be some kind of mix of traditional CG and AI.

Edit, notice in the 3rd clip a few of the bots have the exact same reload animation nearly frame perfect match. I don't think I've seen AI do that before.

In the first shot, there's a blurry Chinese flag on the robot's shoulder, which is missing in subsequent shots. The face light ring of the 1st bot is white, but the rest is clearly blue. The facial shape also seems off.

The video is also weirdly stabilised, the environment doesn't react to the robots and they also don't seem to leave any footprints or other marks on the ground.

Pretty sure this is either CG or AI. It's almost certainly not real.

Robots wouldn't need magnified optics I'd think. Also magic spare mag.

Why do robots need rifles with scopes?

Even if this is legit, isn't it strictly worse than flying or tanky drones? I know it slots into the human-centric ecosystem, but just seems dumb. Freaky though.

Humanoid robots is almost always worse than the alternatives. But they do attract venture capital!

(Anyway, yeah, that's probably AI.)
