It Reminded Me...

 ... a song from 1983 from the legendary album Banana Islands (Bananovye Ostrova) by Chernavsky and his friends. 

A robotic assistant ‘employed’ at the Gumi City Council in South Korea ended its existence while at work, plunging into a stairwell, the administrative body announced on Wednesday. The incident at the council occurred last week; the robot had been seen “spinning in one place as if something was wrong” before falling two meters from the top of a staircase. “Parts of the robot have been collected and will be analyzed by the manufacturer,” an official with the city council told AFP.

The song I, Robot is precisely about this--Robot going mental and asking to turn him off.  

We finally reached the point of robots committing suicide. I wonder if this robot watched debates yesterday.
