I've experimented with my Roombas, even programming them to scream in pain when they encounter obstacles, to see how I would feel about that interaction.

Machines can teach us about our humanity, and the potential for AI to prompt self-discovery and understanding is a valuable aspect of human-robot relationships. I find myself craving the delight of interactions with robots, as we all have experiences from childhood or adulthood where we want others to feel what we feel.

I'm scared of the coming wave of AI because it can be used for both good and harm, and a small group of people could access tools that destabilize our world.

As we gain experience, we lose fear, and if AI does everything for us, we risk becoming scared and helpless.

There's a lot of excitement around AI agents, but many people are unsure of their practical applications, often trying to apply them to problems that simpler solutions could address.

Concerns about job loss due to AI and humanoid robots are valid, but many people are eager to retire from jobs they dislike, and new types of jobs will emerge that we can't even imagine today.

I am an optimist, but I find it scary if AI becomes smarter than us and starts to know our preferences, potentially leading it to make decisions for us.

The irony of AI is that while it can perform tasks efficiently, it may exacerbate feelings of insecurity and loneliness in society.

There's a fear that robots will take over and become masters, but there's also the possibility of robots manipulating humans while making them believe they are in charge.
