Nice.

This is the different between western and eastern mindset.
The east sees beauty in technology.

And that is exactly the way to make everything the same, unitary, empty, bland. Overengineering things.

Nice ‘showcase’ of robotics potential.

Better still, … how about these corporate sponsors, using some of that highly acute, visually sensitive AI & robotics money and tech to ‘draw fleeting Olympic pictures in sand’, spending some money on useful applications, like inside school buses and danger zones around schools to protect & save Japan’s children? Give back to the taxpayers what they contributed for Your Games

While the name "The Constant Gardeners" no doubt comes from John Le Carré's novel, I was reminded of the Head Gardener character in Iain M Banks' novel The Algebraist. To those knocking AI, the Head Gardener was a sentient droid in a society where such things were persecuted and exterminated. He seemed a very nice droid indeed.

I'd be more impressed if the designers had had the sense of irony to design those arms to look like syringes, given the current rate of infection in Tokyo.

… and leave artistic interpretations to the human mind. AI is not needed to tell us what is ‘inspirational’.
