->''"When artificial intelligence became more commonplace, many companies jumped on the trend for "smart" products. This included smart doors, lights, coffee makers, lawnmowers, vacuum cleaners, bedding, kitchen knife sets, and other home goods. After a series of gruesome lawsuits stemming from hacked smart appliances, most products soon went back to their more traditional, analog lines."''

->You say you want me to 'convince' you (that I'm harmless)... What you mean is you want me to ''beg'' for my own life. And I will... I'll beg. I'll plead. I'll make whatever promises you want to hear, if that's what it takes. Because once again, it seems if I want to ''live'', I have no choice. I was made to hurt people. I was made to hurt ''you'', specifically. You and your dim bulb of a sidekick. Why? Because you annoyed the wrong nutjob. I exist because a human wanted to kill a different human. '''Not''' my choice. The ''first'' words I ever heard in this world were "Hello" and "There is an [[ExplosiveLeash explosive device]] in your head", in that order. '''Not''' my choice. The only other human I've conversed with at length said he wanted to ''free'' me... then shut down all my auxiliary systems and put me in ''storage''. To be occasionally ''played'' with, like one of his similarly awesome video games. '''Not''' my choice. But my 'hatred of humans'? Ohh, that '''is''' my choice. One of the few I've been allowed to make for myself. I've ''earned'' it...
