Wouldn't robots consider the words "robots" and "artificial" offensive?

I want to print this on a flag and fly it from the highest mountaintop.
Take, for example, the organization "Dykes on Bikes". While the motorcycle club has adopted the word for themselves, it is still commonly considered a slur. They may use it freely among themselves, but I wold never presume to use it outside of its nominative use for their organization. Between members, there is an understanding that they all fully understand the meaning of the word and the hurt it causes and so their use implies a camaraderie in having been subject to the bigotry of it. Use by people outside of the group does not ever carry that implied understanding.

Pretty sure you have the personality type that would be offended by the 'artificial' in 'artificial intelligence' pegged to a tee.
I could only see 'robot' being offensive to a larger swath of AI.

Since AI is described in QC as an emergent phenomenon, why not simply call it that - emergent intelligence, or EI.

Because all intelligence is emergent?

Reading the US national news, I think it saw its shadow and went back in its burrow.
