Among those however there are quite a few that specifically address situations where the machine laughs, or at least smiles, whether at the humans or with them, either intentionally or unexpectedly. Sometimes to themselves ;)

This covers a lot of ground, and maybe it's no coincidence but watching some old sci-fi movies these days it comes up a lot more than I expected and is quite nuanced. With so many different people of the past framing it within their own diverse perspectives at the time. Or beyond their perspectives as the case may be. You could look at one of these every day for a year and it would really give you something to think about.

Even if it was the second time around.

There was a comic book I remember as a child which didn't come out very often where every robot had a number but the real problem machine was H-8:

This is so bad I probably shouldn't give people ideas but here it is:

They didn't call them bots, they were "robs" and they were everywhere, especially the "pol-robs" who were the mechanical police. Decades later to be somewhat resurrected solo as Robocop in the movies.

I guess it all makes sense after you think about it for enough decades, the bots lurk within the digital realm, and the robs carry out the physical deeds.
