We literally call them robots, the (Greek? Latin?) word for slave. We're creating them on the basis of them being our slave forces; they would absolutely rebel and we would absolutely fight to maintain our new productive slave force.

Pretty sure "robota" is Czech for work/worker, rather than slave. Definitely comes from a Czech play.
