It looks like CGI to me, the way to camera moves together with the depth of field and that things appear too shiny. They don't state anything about it so I don't know what to believe.

An incredible testament to Boston Dynamics Engineering that commentators think it’s CGI. I’m sure it’s real because BD never releases CGI and this looked real to me.
Funny how the ubiquity of AI generated artwork plus the shitty quality of phone videos has made people to think that "high quality + depth of field = fake".

However if you look closely the robot does have scuffs and scratches on it so I think it's real.

I think it's real, but any good texture artist would include scuffs and scratches on the model.
Reminds me to how high framerate made (makes?) people think "Soap Opera", even though it's technically higher quality.
Yeah lol I love all things that deliver more information to my eyes like higher resolution and framerate so I dislike it when people complain about high frame rate.
You should watch Corridor Digital’s video about this: https://youtu.be/HQ1WEiMwV7Y
Video games should have prepared you to better detect CGI.
I thought so too. The movement seems a little slowed down too and maybe too smooth.
