    Why do people use a single work of fiction as “proof” of anything? Same with all the idiots yelling “Idiocracy!!11!” nowadays. Shit is so annoying.

      The point is that technology has no understanding of empathy. You cannot program empathy. Computers do tasks based on logic, and little else. Empathy is an illogical behavior.

      “I [am nice to the Alexa | don’t use slurs against robots | insert empathetic response to anything tech] because I want to be saved in the robot uprising” is just as ridiculous of an argument as my previous comment. Purporting to play nice with tech based on a hypothetical robot uprising is an impossible, fictional scenario, and therefore is met with an equally fictional rebuttal.
