It probably was created by the guys behind EXISDANCE but AGT probably was like "Hey if you create this robot that "hacks" a human's body, everybody's gonna love it and you'll do great". The producers have recommended or even forced the acts to talk/dress/perform stuff in certain ways in the past. I saw a video of one of the contortionists named Bria Roberts this season and she basically states that the producers forced her to do all this shit and in the end they had the audience boo her anyways. This is a link to her video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECs2aZC1AwE

My understanding is that since there are thousands of acts that audition for AGT, the producers have their ways to narrow down the number of acts that move on to the next round. They also need acts to fill in montage segments. As for acts like Exisdance and Academy of Villians, I believe it is foolish to get hyped over montaged acts unless thry advances the live snows.
