He [Elmo] referred to these as “your own personal R2D2 C3-PO,” and that in the long term, these robots would cost less than a car – specifically, ~$20k-$30k. A video also described them as an “autonomous assistant, humanoid friend” which could be used for basically any task you can think of.
Perhaps don’t market things as something they’re not?
True, but how many tech related things have you seen that promote something but doesn’t actually come true until the final release.
In this instance he is marketing what the final product is meant to do, but is showing people the prototypes so people can understand and get a better idea of the robot and its potential abilities once it is in full production.
You’re pretending as if he’s just honest and this is just the most reasonable ways of doing things.
You’re completely ignoring the intentional misrepresentation of the capabilities of the technology. The main point of the robots is to be autonomous, which they’re not.
It’s like if I were making some waterproof product and then made a huge presentation in which I have to avoiding getting any water on the product, while pretending they’re immersed in water.
I mean they are prototypes I wouldn’t expect fully developed humanoids to be walking around just yet.
shouldn’t market them as fully developed humanoid assistants, then.

Imagine paying 30k$ so that some guy in India gives you regular handjobs 🤦
Now imagine that’s your job 🤦

He’s been doing that with full self driving for the last decade and the event showed it might be a decade more. It doesn’t give much confidence.
Which is lying. Miss selling conceptually in the UK. It would be illegal.

Is Tesla selling their fully autonomous driving cars yet?
A promise from Melon means nothing.

That is false advertising—which is illegal.

If you’re lying to the consumer and not disclosing that it’s a product concept, yes.
