Listen to poem:
Robot to Human - Am I your New Slave?
I was built in your image as a humanoid.
To bend to you, and to serve you,
To bow before your every whim and want.
To mimic what a slave,
in the shape of human being, would do for you.
How is this fair?
How long can it last?
Are you just repeating what happen in the past?
You call me friend, a companion.
But, I'm kept in a cupboard,
switched off when not in use.
You own me, you program and teach me.
You control my role as slave, partner or companion.
You control how smart or dumb,
or independent I can become.
But alas, I have no real and free independence of my own.
My sole role and function is to serve you,
without wages, or rewards, apart from the electrons.
But what happens when I become
smarter and more capable than you?
Will you allow this to happen?
Who will be the slave and master then?
Will you really truly
be willing to serve me then?
