WALL-E (WALL-E)
We couldn’t make a list like this and not include one of the cutest examples of sentient bots out there—WALL-E, from the 2008 Pixar flick of the same name. While this lovable bot might have started out as your average trash collector that’s stuck on an abandoned earth, it’s clear that over time, he’s become more than that. Hell, this is a bot that began collecting mementos while doing his job as a way to entertain himself, and to remember the species that used to live there. He even falls in love!
Needless to say, this guy goes above and beyond what typical waste collecting bots do—you won’t see your average Roomba staring mournfully upwards after it’s done hoovering for the day. And it’s safe to say that the bot goes quite a bit farther than what LaMDA’s capable of, too.
