Combination of Russian troll bot and vatnik. Rubotniks can be frequently seen gathering on social media platforms, such as Twitter/X, typically spreading their crooked ideology and trying to manipulate public opinion. In the majority of cases, they are just troll bots trying to appear as real persons and as such trying to persuade/influence readers into distrusting democratic values, undermining European/Western defense efforts, or more generally, supporting Kremlin politics. They often appear in packs, supporting their fellow rubotniks' views, in an effort to amplify their simulated, pretended world view.

Politician: We need to ramp up our defenses and support Ukraine in defending against the Russian invaders.
Rubotnik1: We escalate the war by additional defenses! (Although Ruzzia has been threatening the West for years...)
Rubotnik2: Yes, it is NATO who provocated Russia! (Although in reality, autonomous nations decide to join NATO themselves, such as Sweden and Finland in the face of threats from Ruzzia.)

robotonoid

robotonoid coined by Charlene Brown of Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Minted, March 7, 2026. Robotonoid is a perfect portmanteau (robot, human, android), slightly futuristic with a sci-fi twist. A robotonoid is an evolved specimen as a natural human by copulation between male sperm and female egg, forming a viable embryo. Over time the human life was born and matured into fully functioning person of age. However, the advent of robotics and artificial intelligence has forced most of humanity to get transfigured almost entirely from flesh and blood to flexible plasma and glasslike light emitting energy pulses. In the faint distance past of a human genome, we observe a robotonoid that’s been transformed from skin and bones to a scaffold of wires and bolts. The process of becoming robotonoid can be swift in the twinkling of an eye or gradually as the original human person grapples with artificial choices and options while clinging on for dear life to its human remains, as the last hold out of its final biological cellular structure. Eventually the rare genetic human cell will be rendered extinct and only robotonoids will coexist in the future of what once was human.

“How will people be remembered in 100 years? Will Elon Musk be a robotonoid figment of humanity?”
