The answer is: gen AI slop.

However, the obsession with bi-pedal robots is creepy and weird.

I watched someone on YouTube talking about it but can't remember the channel.

Basically, there is no single task for which bipedal is the best format, it's only suitable for the range of tasks humans can perform. However, we just don't have the tech to make that format viable. As in, they can't do the dishes or clean the bathroom or take out the trash.

Demonstrations of bots doing those things are in tightly controlled environments with loads of programmed parameters.

Its appealing because everyone wants a humanoid to order around, but that's about it.
