The robots: harmless repair drones
The article: "army" that "patrols" aging power stations
The only thing funnier than the wording in the article is the name of the for-profit corporation doing it. "State Grid Corporation."

I think I read that's illegal now?
What‘s legal and what‘s not depends on your status in China. So in practice it‘s still totally legal no matter what their government claims. So yes, I think that was a lie. But also this article is very likely bullshit too if you ask me. Classic fear mongering stuff. It generates clicks.
AI and robots are being oversold everywhere. Even though they are taking jobs, quality takes a hit. I doubt they fill nearly as many positions long term as tech tycoons want us to believe.
