Somewhere at home, I have an audio file (maybe? Might still be on a moldering 5¼” floppy...) of some fooling around I did with a sound card on my Apple II :

i am a robot
I am a robot
All the diodes down my left side hurt

I remember I had to feed the text-to-speech synth the spelling ‘rowbot’ to get it right, otherwise it came out ‘rahbot'

Of course, it wouldn't really work, since the robots - at least most of them - think that they actually are humans and they aren't even very wrong. It requires a very sensitive blood test to discover which is which.
