The duality of man
my electric toothbrush went whirrrrrr...whorrr....whooooooooorrrrr as it slowed down
and then I stuck it back into the loader and said
I GIVE YOU LIFE
and its ominous red light changed to green
and then I took it out again and said AND NOW YOU SHALL SERVE ME
(yes I just watched a certain movie)

And in fact, I recall that when Ancillary Justice came out, someone (don't recall who) said indignantly that it made no sense to build AI ships so that they could feel feelings and maybe not want to do what you tell them.

I suspect that the techbros who read the SFF stories about robots rebelling decided that the moral of the story was "design them so they won't" and they think that's actually possible and desirable.
side point but the idea that if you make a human grade robot intellect it will do whatever you say without protest seems underexamined
Even if you were willing to buy that an LLM/Gen AI tool has human-like intellect, you’re still left with the fact that an LLM doesn’t NEED a job to remain alive under capitalism, but a human does.
morality-wise, surely many would agree that humans should thus be given priority for jobs due to need

84 Charing Cross Road is the best book translated to movie that I’ve ever seen. I love it so much. And it’s free to watch on Youtube if you use a VPN and tell them you’re in the US. 👀
