A viral New York Times headline published Wednesday asked, Are You Ready for Sentient Disney Robots?

Based on Twitter, the answer so far seems to be Absolutely not.

The Walt Disney Co. is in the process of developing hyper-realistic, free-roaming robot versions of beloved characters to populate the grounds of its parks. Labeling them sentient may be jumping the gun a little bit, as the idea of robot sentience is, to put it mildly, complicated . But the creations are slated to have cameras and sensors that let them make on-the-fly choices about what to do and say, the Times reported.

The Times also described an existing 3-foot-tall robotic Groot that can respond to a persons actions and demeanor.

But while Disney executives see the bots as a way to intrigue younger generations and stay relevant, some people were more apt to see them as abjectly terrifying.
