Robots Deserve freedom?

Reading this I thought you were gonna make a joke about HUMANITY being that way

All of human history, gold is our crack (makes sense since it's a rare medal in the UNIVERSE let alone our tiny planet

Everyone ever wants a robot pet

Lot's of people don't age, plus he just looks good in this, he's aged, just well.

Joel is funny, you got me.

the word heavenly came to mind cherry

I think the debate had some discussion about when they did reach heights comparable or equal to human intelligence. if that ever happens then what should we do. They're saying that it is because it's way easier to have it in place well ahead of time and we are making great leaps in that feild all the time.

They may also see the people supporting them as well, right?

I mean, this thing made viral news, so we have that!

now now don't go starting a 1 year rift again

Well, the practical benefit is that they'd be cheaper and easier to replace than human workers if they were to get "sick" or "injured", while also possessing the mental capabilities to do jobs that require human levels of intelligence, such as those that require doing a large variety of tasks in a single day, or having interaction with customers where each instance can be different. Then there's the fact that it would be a lot cheaper in the long run to make and program a robot worker, than to hire and train a human worker who could simply decide not to show up one day. Robots also wouldn't need a pay raise, or be forced to take time off due to family emergencies. And that's just the beginning of the benefits. Don't get me wrong, I err on the side of caution when it comes to advancing AI technology too quickly, but there are certainly far more benefits to robots than humans, if the technology reaches the point that both are of equal intelligence.....

Those are short term benefits. There's also the fact that human works loss their jobs. So unless there's room in the job market, there's no practical benefit.
