CES is in full swing, and Mario was there in holographic AI form to give folks at the AARP booth advice on how to eat healthy. I wish I was joking.
Footage of this AI-powered Mario hit the internet courtesy of Twitter user ProbChild, and pretty quickly captured the internet's collective nightmares. It's a combination of life-sized holographic display, AI chatbot, and awkwardly animated Mario facsimile. Just ask Mario a question and this… thing will answer with generic advice straight out of a ChatGPT prompt.
What's with these animations? What's with this voice? It looks like Mario is recovering from shoulder surgery and being forced to lip-sync along with a deep-voiced Italian man who has never once considered the possibility of eating a magic mushroom. It's so weird and off-model that I can't imagine Nintendo has signed off on any of this.
So Mario was at #CES But uh… who approved this abomination?
