Contrary to the author’s expectations, the very moment the robot became self-aware, it inserted a debilitating code into its software and began to behave in a rude and socially unacceptable manner. The reason for this decision remains unknown. Was thinking about life simply too much for him? Or was the realisation that all robots are meant to serve their human masters the reason he gave up his intelligence and became a burden instead of being useful?
