Would We Treat Sentient Robots The Same As We Treat Each Other?
I would hope the answer would be a firm no. Look at how we treat each other, how many feel as if they are divided. How many feel that some have to much, some do not have enough. We fight and war and riot and protest and kill each other over the most meaningless sh*t, like a pair of shoes.
I would like to hope we would treat them a lot differently than we treat each other, but I know that will never happen. It will just be one more group for one group or another to fight and war with over meaningless crap.
Yep, I think it's inevitable. We will treat them poorly and if they ever become sentient, the robot uprising might not be stuff of science fiction anymore.
