AceShowbiz - Swae Lee is taken aback by how smart Tesla's AI-powered humanoid robot is. The singer was left in shock when a Tesla Optimus Robot sang his collaborative song "Sunflower" in front of him.
On Friday, October 11, the 31-year-old singer/rapper offered social media users a glimpse of his fun encounter with the robot, which was identified as Optimus no. 32. Making use of his Instagram page, he treated his followers to a series of videos from a recent Tesla event.
In one of the clips, it could be seen that Swae, whose real name is Khalif Malik Ibn Shaman Brown, had a conversation with Optimus. At one point he asked Optimus, which was surrounded by a number of Tesla employees, to sing "Sunflower", the hit single that he created with fellow artist Post Malone.
In response, Optimus sang, "Needless to say, I keep in check," with its hand gestures. Upon learning of the robot's ability, Swae looked excited. He then asked the robot to sing Post's part while he would belt out his own part on the joint track.
Swae began singing, "Needless to say, I keep in check." Before the spitter could finish his part, Optimus chimed in to admit, "I'm really nervous right now." Swae decided to help increase Optimus' confidence, calling the smart robot "a superstar."
Swae continued singing, "She wanna ride me like a cruise and I'm not tryna lose." Optimus later joined in, "Then you're left in the dust." Not stopping there, the robot moved its hands, seemingly showing that it enjoyed singing with Swae.
Along with the short footage, Swae wrote in the caption of the post, "These Robots are NEXT Level ! I told Optimus sing sunflower he knew it ! These robots are dam near Human they can do almost anything when you think about it we really in the future or the switchover at least !"
It did not take long for the post to be flooded with online comments. One Instagram user penned, "We really out here laughing w robots." Another joked, "They will take control over that planet." Meanwhile, a third argued, "He talks and acts like [Elon Musk]," referring to the CEO of Tesla.
