A “robot to help me argue on the internet” and 7 other “shitty robots” made by this brilliant woman
Simone Giertz is the “Queen of Shitty Robots” and makes bots that are intentionally bad for humour and to make satirical points.
“When I started building things, obviously I was pretty bad at it,” she says. “You cant be good at it from the start, and I decided to just embrace that, roll with it, and turn it into something funny.” Simone tells Wired.
Here’s 8 of her best:
