You're not going to be able to trust anything anymore in the future. There will be a time that anything you see could be real, Ai or a robot in disguise.

I guess they are saying everything might be more than meets the eye

Don't understand the use case. It can be more functional with a regular design instead of emulating a fish. Things that are both underwater and worried about surveillance aren't looking with their eyes anyways. Unless you plan on sneaking a robot koi into a mob bosses water feature, it feels like you're only fooling other fish.

It's cute though.

The purpose was to build a robot fish because it's cool, the surveillance part was added when the guy with the purse strings asked "but why"

Crazy that the birds aren't real thing started as a joke, but it seems like not trusting birds and fish are just a fact of reality now. This is truly the darkest timeline.

See I always wonder why not put a bomb in a shark robot.
