It's tools, who cares? I should be able to use a hammer, mistakenly hit my thumb with it, call it a bunch of names and maybe even throw it to the ground and stomp on it, and then be able to pick it up again, clean it and continue working with it. It's a thing, it shouldn't pretend to be a individual with feelings.

Yeah, but the hammer doesn’t generate hits based on an algorithm. You hold the hammer, if you hit yourself with it, why do you call it stupid? I bet you don’t call the hammer stupid when someone else hits you with it.
Have you never used tools, been hurt by how you used them, know you are responsible yet take out your pain on the tool, verbally or otherwise?

Feels like I'm having a conversation with a robot who hasn't experienced emotions or the very least never used physical tools.

Must have been a long time ago.
no, why would I get mad at an abnormally shaped rock
Because you're human, you're irrational and you do stupid shit.
