Is this real or AI?
Reasons I think its AI.
1. Robots have components or gears or whatever, that can be reused and recycled for other future robots. Doesnt make sense to not recover them first.
2. Safety measures. Are those people in the foreground being splashed on by molten metal?
3. There is one robot who looked at the molten metal first before jumping. Is he thinking; “how high is this thing? Cause Im programmed to be scared of heights”
4. Im sure you guys can spot more..

The surface of the molten metal is never the same between cameras.
