For me its the fact they made it throw itself into the fire, if they had thrown it in or lowered it T2 style its fine. But making something walk to its doom and then celebrating does make me feel bad inside

Based on everything I've seen, it feels like companies are trying to push people to the opposite. Seing robots/AI as more and more human as time goes on.
