Locally, I'd estimate about 60% of the people with whom I've shared the concept and 3D model have expressed moderate to severe discomfort with the idea. Keep in mind, that's only locally, and the sample size is small enough that it's nearly worthless. It's interesting to me, nonetheless.
Some studies have shown that a significant portion of people, especially those with introverted personalities, embrace the idea of robots (or, at least, some degree of automation) in positions including cash registers, baristas, bartenders, and more. Humans have been interacting with vending machines, self-checkouts, and ATMs for decades, but fully automated systems with intricate interactions and simulated personalities are a different ball game.
It will be interesting to see how things develop.
