I dont even see the song as being from the perspective of a robot. I see it like someone speaking with a mechanical larynx. This is especially clear to me when the female voice answers "Well, I really think you should quit smoking" as if he's speaking through the device because of cancer caused by cigarette smoking. A Little dark humour twist on behalf of Air perhaps to lighten the dark romantic mood of the song. This is what I thought it sounded like.
