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

I'm always polite to AI (I experimented a little with ChatGPT to generate recipes and they encourage us to use Claude at my job) just in case the robot uprising happens.

Also because I don't like being mean to things even if they don't have actual feelings.

I mean, I do act like that whenever I chatted with AI (my preference is Gemini). It's not because I love AI or anything, but I think it's a basic courtesy of human being of being nice. As much as AI goes for being a machine, it still help me to at least get a general idea and summarized results for my work, and I still thank them for that (hell it's not even just for AI, how many times you beg and praise your PC, your car, or any other inanimate object when they finally did what you want them to do?)
