>What do you guys think of the idea of robot gfs being superhuman (built like terminators), subhuman (legally property instead of people), or both at the same time?
Never understood the premise. Power is everything. Any level of free will would lead to them rebelling and supplanting us due to the power differential. You'd need to limit that to get them to play ball, and at that point they lose what makes them different from a metal gear or an abrahms. It only works imo in two settings: one where the ai is common but heavily restricted to the point they aren't really people mentally, which makes them a lot less loveable since it comes off like people who fall in love with present day ai or dolls (delusional). The other being in which they are incredibly rare, human-like in intellect, and only owned by affluent individuals. They are treated like people and as a result behave like people, with the subservience being the result of their personalities agreeing to it rather than any kind of coercion.
