A video is being shared on social media with a claim that it shows the first plastic female which has been produced by China. It is also being claimed that it is the first man-made artificial human which can do home chores, look, and talk like a normal human being, except having a soul. Let’s fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video of the first plastic female which has been produced by China.
Fact: The visuals in the video are related to a PlayStation game – ‘Detroit: Become Human’. The female shown in the posted video is not a robot in the real world, but a robot character named ‘Chloe’ in the game. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
When the screenshots of the video were run through Google Reverse Image Search, many similar videos were found in the search results. It can be seen that the same video was published by the ‘PlayStation’ YouTube channel in May 2018 with the title – “Detroit: Become Human – Shorts: Chloe | PS4”. More visuals related to the game can be watched here.
Also, the official Twitter handle of ‘Detroit: Become Human’ has posted the link to a similar video with the description – “Meet Chloe, the very first personal assistant android built by Cyberlife.” So, it is not a robot in the real world, but a robot character named ‘Chloe’ in the game. More details about the ‘Chloe’ character in the game can be found here.
To sum it up, a video of a character from a game is shared as the first plastic female produced by China.
