Picking at my words, fine. Your point is that this is enough responsibilities for a job because the ambassadors will have to be terminally online to answer every single question (and somehow make appointments, which isn't mentioned at all. The locations are predetermined.). My point is that the only questions they'll have to answer is about what locations they'll show up to: that's the context that precedes the "reach out on social media" part; questions are only answered at physical locations while attending conventions. I think that's a pretty big reduction in responsibilities.

... to then promote a commercial product in person by show hardware, answer questions, and hand out stickers. In the end nothing what you guys said negates this being an unpaid PR job for a commercial company.
Because it's not a paid job and you're not the social media manager, you're not representing the entire company with your PR.
Because it’s not a paid job
I've said all the time that it's an unpaid job, duh.
and you’re not the social media manager
Never claimed that. It's an unpaid job to promote the product.
you’re not representing the entire company with your PR.
Entire company? No. Promote the hardware, a commercial product: Yes, very much yes.
My point is that you don't have as much responsibility to take on. If it was a paid job and a position, then it could arguably stir up controversy and give a lot of burden to the potential employee to not freak up their mouth and have people believe they said what the company believes. They also wouldn't have to purge their social media account for iffy views.
