Erm........excellent I suppose. I'd like them better if they were smaller and better looking, as they are I find them scary.

Read something similar - a more genersal article about the rise of "general AI" - in 'The Week'. There certainly is the potential for it all to go horribly wrong, but I think the people at the forefront are aware of that, and can hopefully avoid it. Anyway, I don't think we''l hace Commander Datas in my lifetime: the article said within the lifetime of children alive today.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

By which time they will no longer be 'overlords', they'll be 'robot-overpersons' or 'egalitarianpersons-robotsex&gender'.
