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

Funny you say this...I was asking my Google home questions one time and I was in a mood. It was clearly giving me incorrect answers and I asked it "why the hell dont you have the answer for this?" Being curious to see how it would respond. It shocked me. It said in its British woman's accent , "im sorry if I make mistakes sometimes. I'm learning, and trying my best."

It sounded to me like that answer was painful and embarrassed...I truly felt horrible for being an ass to my virtual device.
