"The other day I traced a picture of the Mona Lisa and I did it just fine, I am now a renaissance painter"

Now, substitute yourself with my robot: "The other day my robot traced a picture of the Mona Lisa and I did it just fine, my robot is now a renaissance painter"

This is such a broken line of thinking, I can't even begin to understand it.
