Twitch’s most-subscribed streamer, Kai Cenat, is facing severe backlash after a viral clip from his recent livestream showed him and his friends allegedly abusing a $70,000 AI humanoid robot. The footage captures Cenat and his group, including Agent00 and Fanum, mocking, pushing, and kicking the Unitree G1 robot, later named “Abdul.”

What began as a simple assembly and demo quickly turned disturbing as the trio taunted the robot, blocking its path and repeatedly shoving it to the ground. At one point, Cenat sneeringly asked, “Where’s your mom at, boy?” before knocking the bot over again.

The video has sparked intense criticism, with many comparing the scene to a dystopian AI uprising from movies like iRobot. While some dismissed it as harmless fun, others condemned the power dynamic at play, calling the actions “sick” and “embarrassing.”

This controversy has reignited debates on AI ethics and human responsibility, raising concerns over how society interacts with advanced machines. With Cenat’s immense influence, critics argue that his behavior sets a troubling precedent for future human-robot interactions.

As outrage mounts, the viral clip has forced a larger conversation on the moral boundaries of technology and the role of influencers in shaping public attitudes toward AI.
