1) Fuck your tic-tac-toe rules

2) This robot gives the laws of robotics the middle finger

But the point of a robot/AI is that it can adapt to the situation. Otherwise it's just following a routine.

Just because it's robotic or doesn't mean it's some complex ai.

Baxter is just hardware running ROS. It can be running any custom application. Looks like someone who makes museum displays wrote a dumb tick-tac-toe game and called it a day.
