Robots in fiction were almost always just weird humans.
Real robots are not humans, but machines.
But most authors are incapable of depicting real machines in their stories. Or real animals, or real hacking, or real economic systems, or any profession that isn’t their own…
Except actual robots IRL are often delightful. I will smooch a roomba, theyre cute as fuck. Its just genai thats revolting (and the abusive corporate practices and surveillance capitalism with which many technologies are implemented)
