Since the page doesn't mention this: the title is a reference to "What the Butler Saw", a famous early 1900s (mildly) erotic film. https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

  Aaah I thought it was reference to 'What the dog saw', which is a Malcom Gladwell book. Seems it's also a reference to that film

  It mentions it some way down the page.

  >What the Robot Saw’s title is a reference to What the Butler Saw films. Neither the butlers nor the Robot could really understand the objects of their obsession. Despite their self-satisfaction, all they had was a squinted glimpse at a peep show.

  Glad you got the reference! As ehnto noted, it does explain this down the page. Yep, "the Butler" peeped through a keyhole at something he wasn't supposed see (a woman undressing.) Seductive, but just a superficial glimpse of a person he didn't really know. And so it goes with robots, social media, etc...
