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

There have been a plethora of labels used in Fantasy and Science Fiction.
Some basically descriptive and others derogatory.
* Synths / synthetics
* Nipple necks
* Bioroids
* Androids
* Kalevala
* Golem
* Automata
* Mech'
* 'Borg
* Dolls
I am more of a hard science good story kind of person so certain writers, no matter how many accolades they get, I will avoid as best I can.
[okay I actually despise some of them for being willfully ignorant/stupid and not getting the dressing down they rightly deserve]

Aaaand Melon asking Roko how being "robot drunk" was. I know that members of a group can use the term and it's theirs to use, but really, I think we can surmise that "robot" is not offensive.
Thrudd:
It makes me wonder what is involved in "Robot Drunk".
I assume it would be chassis type specific but I could see the software configuring itself for the system it is uploaded to.
So what would be involved?
Well there would definitely be filters for a majority of the sensor systems.
Vision / sound - Blurring, spectral shifts, adding non-corporeal critters like magenta Proboscidea, Wolpertingers, i-Cybies or a flock of HAROs
Pressure, temperature, vibration - sensitivity fluctuations
Balance, time perception, motor functions - delay and some randomization factor proportional to the level of inebriation
