In a strange case of life imitating “art,” it’s just been announced that Baidu’s AI robot Xiaodu will be the official spokes”person” for the Chinese release of upcoming robots vs kaiju popcorn flick Pacific Rim Uprising.
From Sohu (link in Chinese):

Xiaodu has really been making the press rounds lately. Compare this poster with the same bot giving beauty tips in a Lancôme tie-in a few months back:
