Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, is no stranger to stirring up the internet with his commentary. Now, some peculiar images of Musk posing with a AI-driven humanoid robots have left the internet in a state of confusion. 

What Happened: In a series of images circulating on social media, Musk is seen in affectionate poses with a number of female humanoid robots. The CEO of a construction company, David Marven, posted the images on his Twitter account, captioning them, "Elon Musk announces the future wife, who is she?" He later clarified that the uncanny images were generated using artificial intelligence, and were not real robots.

The peculiar images were shared after footage of Musk's humanoid robot, Optimus, was shown performing leaps. Optimus was initially met with mixed responses during its unveiling last September. Since then, the bot has evolved significantly, now capable of performing simple tasks and even jumping.

Why It Matters: Marven's tweet had a deeper intent than merely causing a stir, he stated, "It is the first robot that has been manufactured specifically designed with artificial intelligence, with the personality and the characteristics of the female that he dreams of…which is not found in any normal person, because of course, there is no normal person that has all the required specifications."

Marven described "Catnilla," an AI-powered solar robot capable of experiencing emotions, and then revealed that the images were artificially generated. His aim was to underscore the potential "dangers of AI (artificial intelligence)." 

Social media users had varied reactions, with some expressing concerns about the misuse of AI and others joking about acquiring their own robotic partners.
