Kai Cenat's $70,000 robot tries to run away after being 'bullied' by streamer
A popular Twitch streamer purchased a $70,000 high-tech robot only for it to try and run away after being visibly 'bullied' on camera.
Kai Cenat, owner of the most subscribed channel on Twitch, streamed an unboxing video of his new, very expensive Unitree G1 humanoid robot. The stream later went viral on YouTube and other social media platforms for the way he treated his new tech.
What started as a simple demonstration of the robot’s capabilities quickly turned into a disturbing and unsettling scene of what many viewers have described as 'bullying.'
In the half-hour-long video, the streamer and his friends Agent00 and Fanum began mocking, pushing and kicking the robot.

At one point, Cenat backed the robot into a corner, taunting it with: "Where's your mom at, boy?" before repeatedly knocking it down and laughing.

After one too many kicks, the robot began to glitch and malfunction, its legs twitched uncontrollably before toppling backwards.
Then, after the streamer dragged the robot up to his feet another time, it tried to run away and make a quick escape from the attack.
"Kai Cenat's $70k AI humanoid robot just tried running away from the AMP house because it kept getting kicked and bullied by Kai, Agent and Fanum,' a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) summed up the situation with a clip of the stream.
The 'disturbing' scene didn't sit well with viewers with many finding the whole thing 'unsettling' rather than entertaining.
"This isn't funny, it's actually quite disturbing to watch. I know it's a machine but the power and control dynamic idk just this is wild," one viewer remarked on the streamers' behaviour.
"Also, I've seen i, Robot and if technology ever gets to that level I'm on the robots side and I'll give the bots all three of them no problem."
Other YouTube viewers blamed this kind of behaviour as exactly why AI will turn against us one day, writing: "Kai gonna be the reason they rise against us" and "That robot has every right to be a villain".
Some commenters pointed out that bullying a robot for entertainment just shows how people treat things when they believe there are no consequences, replying: "bullying a robot is peak 2025 entertainment TvT we are fcked as a species".
Someone else added: "This is kinda embarrassing for Kai Cenat. It shows the first thing he would do is abuse and bully a robot."
