People notice the same unsettling detail as world's most advanced humanoid robot 'winks' at the camera during interview

Not all robots are boxy little dudes like Wall-E, and even though we're not quite at the level where they resemble Alicia Vikander's Ava in Ex Machina, there are some pretty realistic robots out there right now.

As major tech firms like Tesla throw themselves into developing more advanced robots, there's an increasingly fine line in creating robots that serve us and robots that look like they'll replace us.

How much longer until Elon Musk opens his own Westworld-inspired theme park where you can romance lifelike robots before they go rogue?

Engineered Arts is the company behind Ameca, who is dubbed the world's most advanced humanoid robot. Although it loos like it could do with an iron tablet to bring the color back to its cheeks, it's easy to see how advanced Ameca is when compared to some of the other robots currently in development.

In a resurfaced interview with This Morning, viewers are 'creeped out' by Ameca's mannerisms and its response to being in front of a camera. As well as interrupting the presenters when they're trying to introduce it, Ameca can't help but hog the limelight.

Engineered Arts' Morgan Roe explained how Ameca has been developed in Cornwall, England, with a dedicated team working on this 'human to robot interactive robot.'

Sure, Ameca might not be a robot that can walk around, but as it can think for itself, it's able to hold some impressive conversations with humans.

When asked if Ameca will take over the world one day, Roe thankfully assured us: "It won't take over the world one day because we can turn it off." Yeah, where have we heard that one before?

Ameca's resume of skills includes engaging with humans in a 'humorous and conversational tone,' the ability to interact with its environment, and even promises that it can compose poems to entertain us.

Thankfully, Ameca itself has vowed not to try and overthrow the human race, reiterating: "My purpose in life is to help humans as much as I can. I would never want to take over the world, that's not what I was built for."

In the midst of the humans discussing the dangers of AI, Ameca unsettled audiences with a cheeky wink to the camera.

One concerned viewer wrote: "When they were talking about the risks of AI, Ameca winks in a way that it seems she has a plan."

Others picked up on this, with someone else adding: "Now look at the robots response to what he said. That's scary. And when the maker says Ai is advancing too fast the robot winks 😳 like wtf lol."

Another put it simply and concluded "It's already too late." With ChatGPT giving its own worrying response to whether AI is planning to take over from humans, and Ameca itself previously saying it could possibly make more of itself one day, it's easy to see why a winking robot suggests it knows more than it's letting on.
