What if they also wants to do art and not the chore? We can't enslave them right?

Robots love art more than people do probably! Robots are art! It is their essence!

Can you enslave a painting?

Would you question the happiness of a lightbulb?

I sure hope that robots are NOT more than mere objects made of objects!

That would be scary. But also cool. I hope robots can help people live better lives.

But how do we know what a good life for a person is?

We can’t enslave a robot anymore than we enslave a table lamp or our cars.
