    I seen an add about a year ago a company persona synthetics who advertised actual human robots! I asked loads of people did they ever see it an no one did so I started to think I dreamt it lol

    Only now there's another add from them doing a product recall because there are faulty robots

    Now I'm guessing it's some sort of marketing ploy but for what I don't know as I sure these robots arent actually for sale

    But when I first seen the add last year it freaked me out lol

    Anyone else see them or know what it's about?

    They aren't real, there's no recall, and it's a promo for a tv show that'll become clearer with further adverts.

    None of Asimov's laws have been broken.

    You were caught :pac:

    It's a promo for the new series of Humans Channel 4

    I got equally confused when I saw the ad, some googling showed its an ad for a TV show called humans - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/humans/

    It's down the bottom of the website that was linked in the ad - http://www.personasynthetics.com/index.html

    I have one of the faulty ones I think.
    Can I divorce her?

    Yeah a TV show, the first few episodes were good but it turned a bit dry near the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,960 ✭✭✭✭Discodog


    I knew as soon as I saw the name. Brilliant TV - good to have it back

    I assumed it was some "viral" advertising for Westworld or something. Looking forward to that.

    Dunno.

    How do you know it's faulty?

    If it didn't perform as promised you may have a case for a refund.
    If it had some defect before you got it you can also get a refund.
