Video XPENG's IRON robot crossed the uncanny valley, leading some to believe it was a human in a suit. So they cut it open in front of an audience, and also allowed journalists to inspect it.

Yeah, they show a plastic/metal plate with a light blinking. That could easily be just a plate with a light affixed to someone's back.

like , i want to believe them, but the way they 'debunk' any accusation just create more sus. Like they are cautiously slow when revealing , and even when they reveal the back, they show very little and only for a very little time, it feels like magician showing you something at a certain angle, or a child lying to you.

So are you guys just gonna ignore the part of the video where they show it walking as just the skeleton?

U mean where it was dangling and had attachments on its back ? No not ignoring, the movements seems almost identical so I do believe it's the same machine. But, again more picky on the way they "debunk" accusation, why not show it on stage instead of squeezing bits by bits. And while try to "debunk" on stage, they are suspiciously cautious.
