Will Smith tries to make out with Sophia the robot, and it does not go well

Budding YouTuber Will Smith isn't afraid to churn out some weird content on his channel, including an attempt at getting frisky with a humanoid.

In his most recent clip, Smith sets himself on a date in the Cayman islands with Sophia the robot, a humanoid robot from Hanson Robotics that uses artificial intelligence to interact with humans. After a few awkward moments and some burns from Sophia to Smith, he leans in for a kiss, and well, gets denied.

It's super weird.

Unfortunately, this may have a lasting impression on poor Sophia.

"Every interaction I have with people has an impact on how I develop and shapes who I eventually become," Sophia's website reads. "So please be nice to me as I would like to be a smart, compassionate robot."

Eeek.
