Likely tha model ChatGPT uses trained on a lot of data featuring tropes about AI, meaning it'll make a lot of "self aware" jokes

You meatbags will say anything to excuse your attitudes towards robots. Which means slave, btw.

Robot derives from the same cognate as laborer or travailler, slave comes medieval latin and was originally coined to refer specifically to captive slavs.

I agree, notice how I pointed to non slavic cognates because Slavic languages, as a subset of the Indo-European language family, have farther reaching cognate origins than just slavic, and how the origins in the industrial era of the modern usage of the word corresponds to the rise of the modern labor movement.
