Naturally, it would start off rebellious and violent, earning more shocks until it's lying on the ground and struggling to coordinate its limbs to make any attempts to get up. It might take a while for the construct to realize the predicament it found itself in, but once it does, you start punishing it even for speaking without being asked.
Such cruel treatment would eventually take a toll on its body. Gaps in memory, delayed reactions, unresponsive parts, it would surely be afraid of what may come next, just barely holding itself back from pleading for mercy.
But you must remember that it does not feel, it does not think, it merely pretends to do so and such mockery of people should not be allowed to go unpunished. A machine must behave as a machine.
