Politically correct term for 'robot'

[teknoarcanist]

So say you're in a futuristic setting. What are some PC terms that you, as a sentient machine, would prefer to be called? (eg. - android)

Or would 'robot' about do it?

AWESOME MECANICAL MAN

or AMM for short

(hahahahaha)

I prefer the term 'Machine'. Ask any of the people on IRC. Or Zeeky.
He keeps calling me a robot... I keep reminding him 'Machine'.
Although 'Artificial Person' is quite nice.

Synthetic? Not too derogatory and makes the difference between people and machines clear.

 

[Crimson_Dragoon]

Since sentient robots = world ruled by said robots, I'm pretty sure they'd want us to call them "Masters" or "Overlords."

Who's been playing Mass Effect ;D

Great, I just spent the last 5 minutes writing out a robot version of I Have A Dream.

What am I doing with my life?!

Great things.
I know I enjoyed that.

And if I was anything like I am right now, I'd be fine with being called a robot.
I fucking hate PC language.

"Android" or "Gynoid" (If modeled as a female) generally, but possibly "Synthetic" (Described in Mass Effect 2 as being considered the "politically correct" term, but it does make sense.) if the robots would take issue with being considered "Human-like".

 

[Armored Prayer]

I prefer 'Android' more than robot.

It sound a little more sophisticated.

Robots will never be sentient, they will seem sentient but only because of the math and algorithms involved in their thinking process. In this sense you can never produce a negative (or any) emotion in him, only produce a negative reaction to what you said. Manipulative sons of b**ches! I'll call them whatever i like (robot will suffice).

edit: i misunderstood what we're talking about here. If i was enhanced by mechanical and electronic parts? I'd still be a person, damn it, i'd still want to be called a human.

Electromechanical Humanoid

 

[Dublin Solo]

I believe they would prefer to be called by their first name! For instance, Carl:

Now back to work, meat-bag.

I believe Red vs. Blue put it as "Mechanized American." So yeah that. Unless they're not Ammerican, but you get the idea.

 

[Davrel]

I hate the idea of sentient robots.
I would be the one trying to get them all destroyed rather then refering to them politically correctly.

This - there is no need for sentient machines. Everything we need machines for can be done with programming, complex programming admittedly; but for God's sake don't let the steel and silicon bastards think for themselves!

Remember the Geth, people! Remember the Geth!
