Yeah us flesh bags hate them too.

just don’t bring that robot to your garden (flower or vegetable)

You see! YOU SEE!! This is where AI is going! Too many mad scientists and not enough hunched backed laboratory assistants! Pretty soon there won’t be anybody left to release the kites!

Could be a market for that kinda’ thing …

Then keep him away from my sunflowers when I plant them next year. From what I heard, sunflowers are weeds. Are they?

Well, that’s one way to get rid of them.

Not in California!

Elons’ flamethrower. Finally a reason to use it!

If that was poison ivy, avoid that smoke at all costs!

Imagine if there had been weeds in his creamed corn!

How does the robot tell a weed from a plant?

Oh BOY! Is it "What Robots Hate " week?

You programmed it.

Link, please. I want to buy one.

Dandelions are flowers, not weeds. And they are edible.

That’s not a weed but a thistle.

A little collateral damage there.

I love it! I want one!

I wouldn’t have a yard left. Or a house. Or a neighborhood.

A robot does what it is programmed to. Nothing more nothing less.

No if it is a robotoid is can do more than it is programmed for.

Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires!

That sort of weeding should be illegal.

And such dandelion-phobia is unseemly!

Don’t let your robot near Milo’s Meadow.
