Do we have to be kind to humanoid robots too?

I try to be a good person, and I think I mostly am. I’ve been thinking about all these crazy insane advances in technology and the fact that we’re going to be dealing with humanoids among us in our daily lives, for sure. It’s gonna start out slow, but in no time these things will be everywhere.

I want to destroy them, is that bad? I live near a major city and those electric scooters you can pay to use are everywhere, including up in trees, submerged in rivers, under bridges, stuffed inside storm drains, everywhere they’re not supposed to be, it’s hilarious. This is what I see happening with humanoids, parts and limbs scattered around, talking torsos laying ditches, heads on stakes and shit. I’m not afraid we’re gonna be overthrown as a species by AI anytime soon, I just don’t want to fucking interact with robots. I already hate it when I can’t just call and talk to the pharmacist without spending an hour arguing with a voice prompted screening agent gatekeeper boss.

First one I see in the wild is gonna challenge my chill side, I might kill it if I think I can get away with it.
