Why is it so hard for people to believe that this is an actual robot?

Because we live in an age of tech-bro grifting. The great grifter Musk had some person in a skin suit pretending to be a robot. We have all these “AI” companies selling air castles.

Anyone who isn’t skeptical is gullible.

Why would it be real? The video you’ve sent is a puppet on a string, suspended from the roof.

It's clearly not suspended from that cable. You can clearly see how much slack there is in it. This is just another example of striving to find some excuse not to believe that it's real, no matter how much of a stretch it takes to get to that conclusion.
