This Physical 'Chatbot' Is Built from Old Radios, Meters, Bellows, Gears and Motors
Chatbot — kinetic sculpture by Nemo Gould
Nemo Gould's Chatbot is a mechanical robot modeled on a chatbot, assembled from an old radio cabinet, an ammeter case, camera bellows, gears, motors, LEDs and other salvaged parts.
Gould describes it as combining the capabilities of an AI chatbot with the subtle condescension and gentle deflection associated with human customer-service agents.

A chatbot that normally lives on a screen has been given a body made of obsolete machinery, and the bonus feature is mild condescension. That is a very specific hardware upgrade.
