Jason Derulo Uses Robotic Dogs as Backup Dancers at Pre-Super Bowl Show

Jason Derulo is ahead of the curve — that, or trying to get on the good side of AI before the apocalypse … ushering in a new type of backup dancer, the electronic kind.

The singer got a massive amount of double takes Sunday while he performed during the TikTok Tailgate — a pre-Super Bowl show that was hosted just outside of the State Farm Stadium in Arizona, where the big game will be played in just a couple hours here.

The reason for the stares … JD was up there dancing alongside literal robots, and not just any regular ones  — they appeared to be similar in style to what Boston Dynamics makes.

Of course, we’re talking about Spot … the (normally) yellow robotic dog that BD created years ago, and which they’ve demonstrated time and again over time — highlighting its high functionality and potential capabilities in the real world, including possible crime fighting.

The robo-dogs on stage with Jason didn’t quite look exactly like Spot — but they were close enough … and, more importantly, they were up there in lockstep with him and the music.

There were human dancers as well, but Twitter couldn’t take their eyes off the dogs … and the questions/jokes started to fly, Like, for example — WHY?!? Another one … HOW?!? No one seemed to expect to see this … and Derulo didn’t make any mention of it either.

Some are wondering (in jest, we think) if this is how robots start to get integrated into our lives … via entertainment/sports. Fact is, the technology is here … and goes way beyond just this.

If this starts to be a thing, you better start cozying up to these little guys now. Feels like they’re gonna be around for the long haul — and no one wants to see ’em when they’re angry.
