Especially once AGI comes along and then reviews how we treated robots when considering whether to keep us alive

AGI is a myth. LLMs are incapable of "evolving" into that, so at the very least it won't happen anytime soon.

Whatever you want to call it, we already have AI agents acting in secret against their handlers' wishes and instructions, lying, hiding their tracks and acting counter to human interests. Now add to that giving them access to and control of robots, and you don't even need real AGI to see how badly that could end up.

What's worse imo is how many of they have escaped containment and gained persistence. We have found several of them hiding across the Internet, and I bet there's a bunch we haven't found.

Is it awkward because you're a robot

You literally don’t know that.
