Kim Kardashian called out for her 'weird behavior' after she posted a bizarre series of photos with a Tesla robot.
Kim took to social media to share images from a photo shoot where she posed with the bot who was sitting in a Tesla Cybercab.
Uploading the pics onto Instagram, she caused quite a stir after being snapped holding hands with the robot and sitting in its lap.

Many people took to the comment section to share their reactions to the post and a lot of them shared the same sentiment.
One user wrote: “Mad weird.”
Another said: “I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks this is f***ing weeeeeeird!”
A third person commented: “What in the weird photoshoots is this? Funny thing is the robot can’t walk or talk like it did at the Tesla Meeting.”

A fourth commented: “This is so disturbing.”
And a fifth person joked: “Someone to match her android personality.”
Over on X, formerly Twitter, someone else said: “Kim Kardashian is truly taking 'hands-on with technology' to the next level! The future of companionship just got an upgrade.”

The reality star appeared in the pics with the Cybercab which was unveiled by Tesla at their ‘We, Robot’ event last month.
At the launch, Elon Musk claimed that the fully autonomous vehicle will go into production in 2027 and is expected to cost less than $30,000.
It’s hoped that the car will be able to run as a taxi-service when its owner doesn’t need it and, in theory, the car could earn money working a night-shift while its owner is asleep.
There were also AI robots in attendance - like the one posing with Kim - which are expected to eventually be made available for purchase.

The Optimus robot is planned to be a humanoid companion that assists with household chores, including walking the dog and retrieving parcels from the mail.
At the event, Musk said: “What can it do? It can be a teacher, babysit your kids, it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks. Whatever you can think of, it will do.
“I think this will be the biggest product ever, of any kind. I think everyone is going to want their Optimus buddy, maybe two.”
What tasks will the robots perform?
The billionaire hopes that the bot will become an assistant, foreseeing a friendly side to Optimus, somewhat similar to a pet or Star Wars' R2D2 or C3PO.

He imagines that it could be a useful companion for everyday owners in their home, helping the family with tasks and errands such as fixing the car or helping to get groceries from the shop.
