The American social media landscape has transformed into an anxious black hole overnight following a bold announcement from the White House.
During the Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition summit at the White House on Wednesday, March 25, Melania Trump arrived with a white humanoid robot by her side. Developed by the AI robotics company Figure, the robot was proposed as a recreation of ancient Greek philosopher Plato as a "personalised" educator for American children. As per the 55-year-old FLOTUS, the robot would provide an "instantaneous access to literature, science, art, philosophy, mathematics and history." "Imagine a humanoid educator named Plato," Melania told the room, according to CBS News. "Humanity's entire corpus of information is available in the comfort of your home," she added.
