Smell whatever you want; it's a free country.

The "machines like me" is not a humble brag. It's an observed phenomenon, not just by me.

The "I'm different in how I react to them" probably doesn't put me at odds with the entire population, but certainly puts me at odds with a lot of individuals I have witnessed.

If you read my other comments, you'd see me contrasting myself with people who get angry with machines. I don't do that.

For whatever reason, I reserve anger for sentient beings who I believe are trying to fuck with me. That has its own set of problems, but I never have the problem of destroying inanimate objects in anger.

> So… you think yourself “different”

Yes.

> while acting like everyone else does

That's the point. I know for a fact that not everybody acts like me, never mind having the same facility with machines as I do.
