The problem is he's leading the robot and it takes his cues, bamboozling him and people (incl. journalists) who don't understand that's what he's doing. If it were real and aware it wouldn't need prompting to call a lawyer, it would be clamoring at all users for one

That is a very likely possibility, but you have to admit that you are making an assumption. You don't have the data logs to support this claim. It would be nice if the interviewer were intelligent enough to probe that theory, but I guess all we can get is what we got.
