Twitch streamer Kai Cenat is once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons. This time for his appalling treatment of a $70,000 humanoid robot during a livestream. The now-viral clip shows Cenat and his friends mercilessly shoving, kicking, and taunting the AI-powered machine, leaving many viewers disgusted by their childish and outright cruel behavior.
During the stream, Cenat, joined by fellow AMP members Agent00 and Fanum, repeatedly knocked the robot to the ground, laughing as it struggled to stand back up. At one point, the machine appeared to try and “escape” the abuse, a moment that struck a nerve with many horrified viewers.

Social media erupted with criticism, calling the group’s antics disturbing and unnecessary. Many accused Cenat and his friends of treating the expensive AI model like a mere punching bag for cheap entertainment, raising serious ethical concerns about the way they wield their influence. Some pointed out that their actions reflected a complete lack of maturity and respect, not just for technology but for the responsibility that comes with having such a massive platform.

F**k Kai Cenat and everyone that made this scumbag “famous”. I don’t care if it’s a robot, the fact that these three fucking losers behave in this way towards anyone or anything is disturbing. https://t.co/cvmzrLQQuk

Cenat, who boasts over 16 million Twitch followers, has yet to address the backlash. However, this latest controversy is just another stain on his already tainted reputation. From a tasteless "hanging prank" that sparked outrage to his involvement in the chaotic 2023 Union Square riot during a failed PlayStation giveaway, Cenat has a long history of reckless and thoughtless behavior.
His continued pattern of controversies raises the question: how many more times will he be allowed to cross the line before facing real consequences?
