Montreal I’m getting off of here to go hiking in the mountains somewhere. This is too much.

Montreal TrentLayden brutal

Maybe in dementia alhymers

She needs a boob job 😉

Try therapy dogs. Robots have no soul.

Does anyone else think the face looks like Trudeau

Sad and horrifying

She looks a bit judgemental, frankly.

Lol this is the direction of this stupid planet.people too busy playing candy crush and watching Kimmy k to to see their family take your robot and stuff it

Just another insult to seniors, shameful and degrading. It does not surprise me where it's coming from, Canada's health system is best place to be killed before your time. And Canada's propaganda machine (aka CBC) promotes this garbage.

I thought the picture was a cbc anchor.

Anything to maintain capitalism, I guess.

No merci

Tell Grace to put a shirt on 😁

Montreal No! Is this true and who thinks this is right? 🤔

Seniors have 'needs' too.

Montreal People of all ages are experiencing loneliness and isolation. It's not crazy to think that humaoids like Grace, maybe are even better than some friends.🙄 Montreal Quebec Canada

Montreal Rise of the machines....

Fake people. Fake medicine. Fake news. Fake governments. Illusion, propaganda & makeup.

🤡🌎

A robot that most likely costs 10s of thousands of dollars to be a companion or should we not consider one of the many dogs or cats that are in need of adoption to serve as companions?

Or: and hear me out: We use the massive over population of real humans with real feelings to help elderly not feel isolated. Volunteers? Create jobs? something that isn’t a god damn computer? 🤷‍♀️ no reason any one should feel lonely or go hungry in this selfish world.

Think I'll stick with my cat, thanks.

Nope! That's not creepy at all, right?🫣😱😆

Well when humans stop giving a shit I suppose this is what we will all end up with.

That is so effing sad!

Oh God help us.

'Humanoid robot' is a futuristic sounding term for what are essentially mechanized puppets.

Foundation And Earth Part IV: Solaria

Robots?!? Disgusting. Oh and BTW, DefundTheCBC

back in my day I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Gimme five bees for a quarter,' you'd say.

This is how it starts.
