The Humanoid Robot in a New York High School Isn’t a Teaching Tool — It’s a Piñata

But the real story isn’t about job security or AI capabilities — it’s about what happens when you put a fake human into a room full of real teenagers who are hardwired to test every boundary they encounter. This isn’t an education experiment. It’s a social destruction lab, and the robot is the piñata.
