There was a time when people were really impressed with robots. The more "life like" they became the more people wondered if they might come alive or be alive. This even happened with mechanical contraptions of clockwork...

I don't think people see things moving around in the same way. Even the fancy Boston dynamics murder dogs. We have experiences with such contraptions. We know they just follow a script.

And this happened with early chatbots for a moment too.
