Maybe that's how the idiom "damned if you do, damned if you don't" arose. If it's ubiquitous - part of the human condition - then I wonder whether similar sayings exist in other natural languages. "Robots could soon have an equivalent of the internet and Wikipedia", so perhaps something similar will arise in some machine language(s) - grumbling about their human "masters".
