I would.

But I don't want a caste of sentient slaves. I want partners with perspectives us meatbags couldn't come up with on our own.

For a "robot" or other automated appliance to be able to perform tasks in the world, it must be able to perceive the world around it in some way. For it to interact with humans, it must perceive the humans (observe their actions, interpret their instructions, and understand their intentions). The direction our technology is headed in has shown us that any such device would primarily be a surveillance platform which collects data on its users.

I don't want a smart car or a smart TV and definitely not a smart household appliance such as a refrigerator. Why would I want a self-propelled, self-aware surveillance platform under the control of a multi-billion dollar corporation in my home? or workplace? or anywhere?

I don't want robots to be partners.

I mean partners in a diplomatic sense. Not a romantic one. But if two sentients wanna do that, godspeed to them.

I mean partners in a diplomatic sense.

Whatever that may be.

I mean it in every sense.
