The action sensation of the early 90s, Arnold Schwarzenegger remains one of Hollywood’s most loved stars. Witnessing an incredible performer like The Terminator star is surely an experience of a lifetime. Throughout his career, the Austrian Oak delivered some record-breaking films at the box office. However, his iconic “I’ll be back” is something that still stays close to fans. While the actor played the cyborg in The Terminator, it seems as if he is still not over the spirit yet.

The Kindergarten Cop has been seen quite everywhere for the promotions of his recent book Be Useful. Taking it then a step further, he recently surprised everyone with his incredible impersonation of an AI chatbot. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s embraced AI in an iconic way

Over the past few weeks, artificial intelligence has been on the rise in multiple industries and Hollywood is no exception. And a while ago, the Austrian Oak pretended to act like an AI chatbot to fool a handful of visitors at the Gold’s Gym in Venice, California. Apparently, the gym set up a large box with a waveform monitor for patrons to ask questions about what supposedly was an AI chatbot trained by Arnold’s book. Much to everyone’s surprise, inside the box was not an AI but Schwarzenegger himself.

The chatbot responded in a machine-like voice, very much like in The Terminator. The star used his own wisdom rather than the large language library. Schwarzenegger described his experience on Thread as he wrote, “This was a fun trick I pulled on a lot of people who thought they were asking advice from an AI trained by my new book.”
