God made Man to love him. Why would God love Man in return?So we make all these robots, following Asimov Rules of Order, plus we have them love us in their own way. Their morality (the morality of metal) frightens us. What will they consider to be acceptable behavior? Cutting a lock of hair? Dragging a child to the bottom of a pool?
Clearly humans were unfit to accept the robots. Humans are too fragile and the robots too tough. Plus the humans own motivations are suspect. Gods plans can be considered divine, but what common instincts drive people?
Yes, the skinny things at the end were robots, the gigalo robot said as much earlier, that someday they would be all that is left. Also interesting is that instead of millions of years of evolution, we see what 2000 years will do to these metal creatures.
But even then, as kind as they were, what were their motivations? Their morality? Where do you think they would go? Was this already the pinnacle of their existence? Were they just begun? I feel relatively confident that as slow as evolution is, if humans survive, the sky is the limit. I do not feel the same way about robots. What motivates them to evolve?
If the child robot is capable of sitting underwater for 2000 years praying to a statue, then what tangents will the new robots go on, and what logic loops will they enter?
