I don't get people who would think of a Roomba or even Spot as anything other than the pile of electronics that they are. Maybe such people need to spend more time with both real live pets and people and build some of their own machines in order to stop being silly about the machines. Like, sure, it moves like something living, but your sense scan be fooled by a simple optical illusion, so why should you ever trust yourself in that regard? It's as easy to remind yourself internally that it's just a machine as it is to remind yourself that an optical illusion isn't really 3D or whatever it seems to be that your logical brain knows it's not. It's weird to me that Lex, who seems so logical, to the point people joke about his roboticism, should anthropomorphise anything at all past perhaps giving his guitar a name or something like that.
