Man human imprinting is crazy. My friend’s roomba zoomed by me and I got this intense urge to reach down and pat it. Like it’s just a machine? But it’s a good boy? It spends all day cleaning and sleeping and exploring the house and never complains and it’s just so good little robot? Pet robot?? Pet the robot????? Why am I like this???
When I bought my roomba the lady at the store told me that if it breaks within warranty and I send it back to the manufacturer, I can request that they fix and send back the same roomba instead of just sending back a new one. I gave her a confused look and she explained that people get attached to Their Roomba and don’t want them to just be replaced because they’re like part of the family. Humans are pretty great.
Aristotle’s definition of animal life was basically “anything that can move on its own,” so the idea of independent motion (or self-motion) as an indicator of consciousness is pretty deeply ingrained in the human psyche and regarding your autonomous vacuum cleaner as a domestic pet really isn’t that strange
My husband named ours and follows it around the room while it’s doing its thang, speaking softly to it.
please read this in a voice of pure pained agony: that’s a good fact very good
