I leave the seat up for the sake of transparency. Yes, it means the next lady who uses the toilet has to put the seat down herself, but it's also a fairly solid indicator that I haven't pissed all over the seat (in case some women haven't noticed, men don't have the best aim...).
If the toilet seat is down when a woman enters a mixed gender toilet, she has no idea if there's dried pee all over the seat or not (even if a gentleman takes the time to put the lid down too). But, if she goes in after me, she at least knows that the last guy who was in there didn't urinate all over the thing she is about to sit on.

And this is why those robotic self-cleaning toilets are such a great thing.

Very true. Unless someone poops on one of them and the cleaning rotation just smears it across the entire seat... That ain't pretty. :o

Humans can be disgusting like that, yes. I don't know if the sensors and other systems of those robotic toilets can deal with such dedicatedly antiseptic shenanigans.

The ones I used a long time ago had a button you could push to rotate the seat covering a second time.

You can also do the right thing and sit down like a civilized human being, of course. No need to enforce the stereotype that all man are pigs.

Personally I think it's better not to build too many gadgets into our toilets, if only because we shouldn't lose sight of the primary function of any given toilet. We've got smartphones for that kind of decadence.
