"A villain is being created": Netizens divided by Kai Cenat "bullying" a $70k humanoid robot

Twitch star Kai Cenat has gone viral on social media after a video of him "bullying" a humanoid robot surfaced. On January 29, 2025, X user @FearedBuck shared a 56-second clip from the content creator's most recent livestream. It featured Cenat, Roberto "Fanum," and Din "Agent 00" kicking and pushing a $70,000 AI humanoid robot.

"Kai Cenat's $70k AI humanoid robot just tried running away from the AMP house because it kept getting kicked and bullied by Kai, Agent, and Fanum."

While several netizens were amused by Kai Cenat's actions, others were not pleased with his behavior. X user @restoreorderusa's take on the 23-year-old's antics has gained significant traction:

"'Hey this thing is kind of like a person. Let's violently abuse it.' Fascinating!"

One community member stated that they "felt sorry" for the robot.

"It's really weird that I feel sorry for it," X user @ThirdRomeRising responded.

Meanwhile, X user @Idononoteen said they would treat the humanoid robot like a "high-class butler."

"Funny, I've been imagining treating mine like a high-class butler. A nice gentlemanly rapport where we crack jokes and call each other sir," @Idononoteen wrote.

"A villain is being created," X user @baggy615 remarked.

On the other hand, Twitch and Kick streamer Felix "xQc" disagreed with X user @restoreorderusa, saying "humanizing robots" is "one of the stupidest things":

"In my opinion, one of the stupidest things someone can do is start humanizing robots. It's hardware and some software. I don't even know why they even put faces that resembles the ones of humans. It's not a human that's being abused, it's an object getting rocked around."
