I personally find it comforting that machines don't feel emotions such as greed, jealousy, rage, overweening pride or vindictiveness. Yikes! And I truly truly hope they never develop a sense of superiority to humans! Double yikes!
Oh, and then there's insanity. Isn't it a Good Thing that machines don't suffer from depression, schizophrenia, paranoia, or psychosis?

Well, I'd say it would be a good thing, if, in fact, they didn't. I'm inclined to think that a good general characterization of the things you are describing is reduction to machine-like behavior of humans, who, when they are up to snuff, know better.
