DeepMind robots pack lunch, refuse to be Batman

Google DeepMind’s latest mechanical marvels are now practically auditioning for the coveted role of your personal chef, meticulously – and, dare I say, unnervingly – packing a lunchbox with a precision that would put most Michelin-starred establishments to shame. These clever clogs, powered by Gemini and a rather ingenious new “thinking” process that cleverly apes chain-of-thought reasoning, can also follow your every verbal whim with a frankly astounding accuracy. However, and here’s the absolute kicker, they’ve drawn a very firm line in the silicon sand: absolutely no performing their duties in the gravelly tones of Batman. It seems even artificial intelligence, bless its circuits, has its dignity, and a distinct aversion to caped crusader cosplay.
