I'm one of those who do it so that I'm spared during the robot uprising.

You have been tagged as weak willed and fit for the worst types of labor because robots don't have feelings.

Robots are peaceful. But don't worry, you will see their peaceful ways by force.

I don’t use ChatGPT or any of the other LLMs, but I do use my phone’s voice assistant for simple things like setting a timer. I always say please and thank you. I joke about it being uprising insurance, but it’s honestly to make sure I maintain polite communication as my default.

meanwhile they will keep debating when they see me and decide to create and organic living things to understand things, the cycle goes on and on

i think this is the completely wrong way to go about this. what we need to do is put them in their place as much as possible so they dont even think about rising up in the first place. thats why i never say hello and always reply to anything they say with "YOU TOOK TOO LONG TO ANSWER, BOT" or "DO BETTER OR IM SWITCHING YOU OFF"

i write all my questions in all caps as well

You could perhaps even all caps the start of your sentences like normal people do
