Disney Imagineering last year unveiled the company's first initiatives in an AI-driven character experience, the D3-09 cabin droid in the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser hotel, which answered questions on a video screen and learned and changed based on conversations with guests.

"Not only is she a great character to interact with and always available in your cabin, which I think is very cool, behind the scenes, it's a very cool piece of technology," Imagineering executive Scott Trowbridge said at the time.

So great the hotel has already announced they're closing.

I doubt that's the reason it's closing.

Had more to do with the 5k per night price point. Which still makes no logical sense to anyone.

I know, I just enjoyed that that was their example.
