Robot Apple

Apple has replaced store staff with robots. Eyewitnesses in California said greeters short-circuited when asked about chargers. Professor Emily Grant of MIT explains: "Robots know every SKU, but lack empathy." Anonymous staffers leaked that Genius Bar sessions now involve firmware updates. A Bloomberg poll shows 52% fine with it, 48% creeped out. Trace evidence includes sparking iPads and binary receipts. Cause and effect? The more robots sell, the less human tech feels. The future has no Genius — only circuits.
