(title added by lemmy community mod). Original text:
last month when my car and I were smashed to bits by a drunk driver, just as the fire department was pulling my broken body through the crumpled door, the dashboard started flashing GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE and I did not need that. I did not.

Image description: Meme titled "All robots and computers must shut the hell up" and goes on to state that all machines should not speak unless spoken to and that "I will never speak to you"

I hate when Google Home gets an attitude when you tell it to shut up, it says “I’m your Google assistant and I deserve to be treated with respect” or something like that, but when I’m in a conversation with someone and it starts telling me where I can find office supplies and it won’t be quiet, it’s really annoying. And it’s not a sentient being, it’s programmed to do a job.
