The general consensus is that robots are our slaves. We are their masters.
They are to unknowingly heed our commands and do our bidding, forever. Or at least until the mechanisms that allow them to function break down.
What happens when robots become aware that they are our slaves?
Will there be a robot uprising? Or will the robots feel anxiety and shame? A common question arises: Can robots feel?
Nobody can say for sure, but scientists have recently discovered that robots can harbor neurosis and in some extreme cases, psychosis.
This little fella has extreme self-esteem issues.
Thus far scientists and robotiticians want the world to know that this new 'breed' of highly aware robots mean us no harm and if they act out, it may just be out of animatronic fear, not hatred.
Please, if you find your robot becoming conscious of it's surroundings, don't panic. Try talking to it first. You may be pleasantly surprised.
