Am I the only one who had a home robot try to join in on a private conversation?

Tbh, my cleaning bot started beeping and following us around while we were arguing about vacation plans. Some family members thought it was funny, like it was mediating, but I found it super intrusive. Honestly, it makes me wonder if AI should have better boundaries or if we're just too sensitive. What's your take on AI butting into personal moments?

My smart speaker once played music during a serious talk. Makes you question who's really in charge, right?

Oh great, it's picking the mood music now...

That "who's really in charge" bit, @fiona_kim, I read about that too.

Yikes, that's creepy! I mean, @fiona_kim, your smart speaker playing music randomly is bad enough. But what about when smart locks unlock by themselves? Or when a thermostat turns up the heat in summer? Idk, maybe it's just me, but doesn't that make you wonder if we're losing control? Like, what stops these things from making bigger mistakes?
