A video going viral on social media (here, here, and here) allegedly shows a human-like robot walking around in public places in China. In the viral post, the user expresses concerns that the future is scary. Let’s verify the truth behind the video in this article.

Claim: A video shows a human-like robot walking around in public places in China.
Fact: The person in this video is not a robot but a digital video creator on Instagram named qian_princess. The original video of the girl featured in the viral clip was posted on her Instagram account on 19 July 2023. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
Upon closer examination of the video, we noticed a TikTok username Seabin008 in the video. An internet search for this username led us to the original video (here, and here) of the girl featured in the viral video, which was posted on an Instagram account named qian_princess on 19 July 2023.


According to qian_princess’s Instagram bio, she is a video creator. A Google search of her name reveals no evidence that she is a robot.

To sum up, an old video of a digital creator is falsely shared as a robot walking in public places in China.
