This cutesy idea of making hardware pretend to be human and have a fake need for dignity is disgusting.
If I smash my thumb, I can yell at my hammer to go fuck a cactus and throw it on the floor. I don’t need any moral panic as if I am going to cuss out humans if I get away with yelling at my hammer.
I tell my Google assistant to go fuck itself every time I ask for directions to a place, and it asks me “which one” when the second nearest is over 100 miles away. I also tell it to fuck itself every time it just stops listening while I’m talking without telling me, which is shockingly often.
We have a little game we play with waze where we all say a number before asking waze to navigate to a place, and then the winners whoever is closest. Generally, even of the closest location is across the street, I find you wanna go with a low three digit number unless it’s an asian restaurant,
then you wanna go with a four digit number.

Don’t throw hammers unless you’re doing the hammer throw, respect your tools.
It bit me. It must be punished.
Politeness and dignity are just as much for yourself as for the recipient.
