Humiliating to be sure.

The idea they thought it was ready leads me to believe they are further along than we think.

Someone’s getting gulaged.
Stalin delivers a speech to a large audience in the Kremlin. Suddenly someone sneezes.
Stalin: Who sneezed?
Everyone is shaking, and no one dares to confess.
Stalin: First row, rise and leave. You’ll be shot.
(Applause)
Stalin: So, who sneezed?
Silence.
Stalin: Second row, rise and leave. You’ll be shot.
(Ovation, shouts: ‘Hail great Stalin!’)
Stalin: So who sneezed?
A man rises in the back row, shaking: It was me, sorry…
Stalin: No big deal. Bless you, comrade!

Putin: Who made this robot?

"A Joe Biden bot.

The short steps and thrashing around after the face plant sorta gives him away doesn't it.. ?

They shouldn’t have used Biden motion-capture to program it.
