Anything beyond small toy desk top robots, start to really frighten me.

Like I am not talking about massive things that launch bits of themselves 5 meters and crush you against the wall.

The general combination of some speed, even a modest amount of power AND a shit load of intertia - and they just push a big hole through you or they crush you etc.. 10 Kmh and your fucked.

They don't frighten me like a cage full of wild bears or something - despite all the safety interlocks and caged areas and all the safety stuff....

In the fictitious situaton, if your standing with your back to them, and it's in a kind of noisy workshop - like welding and griding and hammering etc..

A BIG hydraulically driven welding robot can just start up swing around and put a hole right through you at jogging speed - partly the speed, partly the mass and mostly the intertia...

"It's the coming to life" automatically bit that frightens me...

ALL this AI controlled war technology just makes everything fucking worse.

Kind of like Teslas, that decide to go flat out - super fast - with no one at the wheel....

And your inside the fucking thing.

Every place I worked with robot's they were put behind cage's. If you had to enter there were multiple lockouts to prevent that very outcome. Even with the lockouts I never felt safe inside those cage's.

I am not frightened of them irrationally - but they creep me out - because they are lifeless and inanimate objects that CAN come to "life" with you in the way.... This is bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjAZGUcjrP8 This is worsera. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaxMHBxck5I

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: It's nit irrational either. It's the fact that if they gain power, by which I mean electricity, it'll execute it's command's and if you happen to be in the way way. Well the video above shows what will happen.

@Councilof1: Yeah..... It's creepy, in a sci-fi, horror movie, kind of way.

@Councilof1: They creep me out - Safety interlocks, switch the damned thing off, I don't know about unplugging the power system... but at least have the action man escape route - to run, jump, roll and tumble and get the fuck out of there just in case..... That is the creep me out / healthy dose of paranoia I have about them..... maybe wrap it a few times with some chain to restrain it - just in case.
