all robotic AI must assume a kind of Frankenstein quality of dissection and reparation: the robot of the future would have no choice but to share their creators' conclusion that we humans are simple products of sensory apprehension and nano-processing -- hopelessly backward machines enslaved by our appetites and desires.
