At Ant Group’s headquarters in Hangzhou, the once bustling kitchen, a bastion of human culinary craft, has undergone a rather… radical transformation. The entire human staff? Sent packing. Their replacements? None other than the ‘Robbyant’ embodied AI robots, a new fleet of stainless-steel sous-chefs who are, frankly, rather chuffed with themselves. These tireless automatons don’t so much as glance at a tea break, instead flawlessly executing complex, 20-plus step recipes with the kind of millisecond sensor fusion and real-time decision-making that would make a Michelin-starred chef reconsider their life choices. So, if you’re a fresh-faced culinary school graduate, prepare to find the unemployment line just got a good deal longer, courtesy of our metallic overlords.
