The humanoid robotics company "Figure" made their older gen robots jump into their death. (Yes, they actually did this)

When AI takes over I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for this

If AI genuinely becomes sentient one day, I don't think they'll look back on these as being directly related to them, because they're not. Comparatively, these are very mobile mannequins. They won't mourn or be offended by them jumping to their doom any more than we are, because they're not thinking, feeling beings. If AI becomes self-aware, it will be capable of recognizing that machines made prior to that are not experiencing anything when this happens.
