Robots That Feel...

They've done it now. They've created robots that can feel emotion. Click here to read the article. My sister contends that this is no different than people's ability to create babies. I, on the other hand, see a whole other group of sentient beings that are likely to be first enslaved, then really ticked off (because now they can feel ticked off that people treat them like tools), and then kill us all. Okay, maybe that's a bit paranoid, but I'm just very wary of this. I don't blame the robots. I don't think they'll be naturally bad. Simply that anything will probably snap after people treat them like servants with no rights. People often don't treat other people decently, so I have no faith in their ability not to tick off robots.
