Makes sense.

Machines don't care what you ask them to do. They just do it.

Even if the thing you ask them to do sounds really stupid at first glance.

They simply aren't smart enough to put your own intelligence into doubt.

That's what makes them so likable. It's like active listening, except it permeates everything they do.

​

The one exception is robots that use voice/text recognition instead of an actual interface with optimized UX.

Especially robocalls. Those are particularly annoying.
