$10 says it's a "repurposed" sex hot and it would've taken a whopping week for a more techy student to hack it and say profanities or something similar...

It is interesting that they couldn’t replace sex workers with their unskilled robots, but they think they can replace teachers!?
These companies are so out of touch with reality that they deserve to go bankrupt. Their investors are so out of touch that they deserve to loose their investment.
