I'm torn between liking or disliking your post. On one side, I agree with you completely, but on the other hand, if the robots rise up against humanity, I want them to know that I'll be their faithful servant.

Robots will have values and ethics completely different from humans, so there is no way to know how they will view us if they were sentient. It's entirely possible that they will see being forced to speak to humans in our language to be just as patronizing to them as we think it's to us.

My mom has a fridge that literally has meltdowns every few days. She bought it last year, it still doesn't work as intended, and it beeps so loud over were not sure.

No option to turn off the sound. I want to mcguyer in there and tear the speaker out, but I don't want to voided the warranty before they actually fix it.
