Robot vacuums yell obscenities at owners after hackers take control

Ethical and legal considerations aside, this is such a missed opportunity. Suppose instead of abuse and division, the robot vac had said things like:

  • “Hey, I think we need more peanut butter. Could we get crunchy this time, please?”

  • “That’s a nice outfit you have on today. It really brings out your eyes.”

  • “Hey, your friend, the blender. Are they, like, single or anything?”

  • “I don’t know if you can see it from up there, but I’m pretty sure I cleaned up some chupacabra tracks today. Maybe let’s be a little extra careful today.”

  • " eighth note I’ve had the time of my life…and I owe it all to you-oo-oo-oo-oo… eighth note…"
