Techie fam! The latest Nvidia GTC conference has recently taken place, and a viral video that surfaced online launched a wave of funny reactions from netizens. In the signature Nvidia way, the company rolled out a parade of humanoid robots, and let’s just say netizens had thoughts.

A netizen commented (via @sakura_venom/X),

The most prominent viral sentiment ringing through the digital hallways is that, slowly, we are being morphed into NPCs (non-playable characters) in the game of "who run the world." So when humanoids get center stage, who gets left behind?

As common sentiments from netizens suggest, it is us, the humans, who fail to match up with the robots (who can foretell the future, though). Like any other topic on the internet, this set in motion a huge flood of differing opinions.

Have a look at the video:

The video gets interesting (and funny) when you see the humanoid robot from Nvidia's GTC conference water the plants on display. You may wonder what's next. Robots watering plants while humming the tune from Interstellar? Or even pulling off an MJ moonwalk in style?

Imagine walking into a food court, and the store cashier isn’t just a guy with a mustache or the familiar lady: surprise, surprise! It’s a humanoid robot with the most efficient customer service (with a robotic voice, of course).

That’s when it hits you: you might just be the side character. As we watch this weird dystopian comedy unfold, should we prepare ourselves for an AI bot to do laundry for us?

Let us just be honest: who doesn't want a perfectly strong cup of morning coffee right after waking up? If that work can be done by an AI, who would not be surprised?

"Imagine if these robots gets in the hands of Ishowspeed"

This social media user wrote (@Loque4x/X),

"This is one of the 10 prophecies being fufilled"

This X commenter posted (@suayrez/X),

“I need to get out of watering plants mode... Ok"

Another X user thought (@funOBO_ng/X),

"By the time our kids are grown, humans would probably be breathing robotic oxygen"

This social media user expressed this feeling (@PLClubOfficial/X),

"oh yeah? still waiting for my hoverboard and flying cars, but guess we’ll settle for overpriced tech instead."

One last funny thought from a netizen before we sign off (@KingNero_Sol/X),

"Damn we are living in Star Wars times. Flying vehicles are next"

Last thoughts on the Humanoid Robots

Robots are already performing crucial roles (let's not pretend we have not seen those AI bots tossing food in a wok or playing badminton against human contenders). Nvidia’s plant-watering humanoid bot has given reality a much-needed update. As we enter the Star Wars time, let's grab a bag of fries and enjoy the drama unfold!
