I suppose we could try to befriend our robot, but honestly at this point I think of it more as a court-assigned legal council, in other words someone who bails you out of a jam and you both say "have a good life" once it's all through. Couple that with the fact that it is a machine and acknowledges that it is simply a machine (instead of insisting that it is a person), it kind of seems like developing a relationship with your work computer.
