I’m currently thinking of the scene in Futurama where Bender (the robot) lies on the couch and mourns “oh if we only had some kind of machine that does the work for us”. Very ironic. What if robots gain some basic pride and demand basic rights, including limited work times and such? Who does the work for them?
Robots with sapience are granted rights and don’t make refrigerators or vacuum cleaners capable of abstract thinking and feelings. I’m looking at you Samsung. Washing machines and microwave ovens do no need to be “smart”

Its a funny episode. But its a false dichotomy.

Almost everybody. People will realize, wrongly as some may argue, that the abolition of slavery was a mistake.
Not that I agree, but the need will drive morality, like not going vegan or keeping up Neocolonialism.
