Walt Disney Imagineering has apparently decided theme park characters weren’t uncanny enough and gave Olaf an AI upgrade powered by deep reinforcement learning. This isn’t a costumed actor or a remote-controlled puppet; it’s a free-roaming, conversational robot designed to perfectly mimic its animated counterpart, right down to having a removable carrot nose. Prepare to question reality at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland, where the line between cartoon and autonomous machine has officially evaporated.
