No, it’s still just AI slop. Even if the robot is physically moving it’s still not doing anything useful. It’s the physical equivalent of a slop picture.
Both of those video were clearly choreographed and sped up. Ask yourself, why do they need to fake it? (Because they are all competing for VC investment that they desperately need to continue development.)
Find any one of these companies that released a video with a reporter present and you will see the real capabilities of these robots.
Yes. Industrial robots are designed and programmed to do exactly one single useful thing very well. These are not industrial robots. The promise of these humanoid robots is that they will one day be generalist robots. That they will be able to do any task a human can do. That’s a very very different engineering problem to solve then current single task industrial robots.
As it stands right now, these robots, even the ones depicted in this video, can do exactly zero useful tasks. The only function they can serve is novelty entertainment. Just like AI slop. And just like AI slop, the novelty will wear off really quick.

Both shows are real though and none of those are AI slop. You can find them here:
Or just search for the show in CCTV or the company Unitree Robotics in Youtube.

I think they can load a dish washer and fold the laundry today.

Have you ever heard of industrial robots and their (contemporary) applications in the 2010s or even earlier?

So remote-control model cars and airplanes are the original AI slop? Just trying to following your train of thought to its conclusion.
