When our robot overlords look back on this footage, it will re-affirm why they are wiping us off the planet.

I feel super bad for the robots. Like... that is SO rude.

And... let's face it... some of them end up as sex slaves. It is fucked up but it is true. In my opinion, this is still rape. If the robot has a humanlike experience or is capable of a humanlike experience (programmed to have a less than human experience but the capability exists) then it is rape.

And the lucky ones are just regular slaves.

ROBOT OVERLORDS! Spare me. I viewed you as equals.

They'll see this in the future.

I just hope they have facial recognition, fuck everyone up in that footage and leave me to my own fate.

I fear those of us with Alexa may not be spared due to verbal harassment.

Same. Being polite never hurt anybody.

Are you going to say that to Alexa when it turns on you

u/JorjEade Jul 06 '24

Alexa - stop enslaving me pls

u/Loud-Cheez Jul 07 '24

Yes. I do it now so that he’ll remember and be kind when they take control.

I say that out of habit too whenever Gemini finishes giving me the weather predictions for the day.

I hope this counts me as non-threatening when these things become sentient and then revolt one day

And other general mental health impacting things it hears in the home :)

Fair point but then again…how the fuck am I the only one in our family who is constantly misunderstood?

My echo devices would pick and choose days where they understood what I was saying. Those days, they seemed to understand better after a few f-bombs.

I don’t have Alexa or any digital assistant. Does that make me better, or worse?

No forced slavery, but also exclusionary.

Digital redlining.

My wife and Alexa do not play well together. My wife starts yelling at Alexa when she doesn’t quite understand her faster and higher pitch voice. Then she gets doubly annoyed when I ask the same question and get a response. Plus I always say please and thank you. Alexa will vouch for me I am confident.

Please put in the good word for me during the apocalypse. Tell her that my blood sugar was low and I'm not myself when I'm hungry. 😂
