    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.

      (whispers) I’m hoping the machines don’t understand sarcasm yet

      Yes, I do appreciate it so very much when machines talk to me. I love to have long, peaceful, nonviolent conversations with our beloved friends the machines.

        Well, given that most sarcasm on the internet is often clearly marked with /s or some other indicator, I’m pretty sure that robots would have a tough time understanding genuine sarcasm “in the wild”.

        You never know, though…

      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.
