This is such a good example of why we need to be very self aware about our fiction.
Sentient robots that deserve rights and love are fictional. We made them up in stories.
Now, it's my favorite kind of fiction. I love it. But it's not real. It's a metaphor for oppressed human beings.
Sentient AI doesn't exist. There are corporations, and maybe even someday governments, who will want to convince you that it does, now and in the future.
Replikas don't care about you and that robot dog is a military weapon.
This is ironic 'cause military and police robot "dogs" (and the other robots they build) are built to do harm to oppressed people.
Yeah, the very people that are represented metaphorically in fiction by robots and androids.
Fiction is fun, and I love fictional robots with my whole heart. But I am not about to let it make me stupid about real life. :)
