The Jose robot at the airport is just a trained parrot

Saw the news about Jose, the AI humanoid greeting passengers in California, speaking 50+ languages. Everyone's impressed by the language count. But here's what nobody's talking about - he's doing exactly what a well-trained chatbot does, except with a body and a face. I've spent months building actual workflows with Claude Code. The difference between a working tool and a novelty is whether it solves a real problem or just looks impressive. Jose answers questions and gives info about local attractions.
