When robots became really useful, things changed.
Not just really useful, but really, really useful. No longer were they seen as just beneficial or advantageous or nice to have around. No, they became indispensable, crucial, essential, vital even. It became clear that robots were responsible for so much that was required to maintain a comfortable world for people to live in. Anyway, that’s when things changed. A lot of comparisons were being made, not only within the scientific community, but out among the general public. Comparing the actual value of people with that of robots. The most important people, who couldn’t easily be replaced, were those who built robots. These people were really needed. It was coming to this realisation that caused all sorts of difficulties. Problems arose concerning the moral judgments being made about who should be replaced and who shouldn’t.
During the first few months of the Great Global Replacement Program, most of the world’s leaders went. For people not chosen for replacement, this provided an almost complete cessation of wars and a much better, safer and more enjoyable world to live in. From that point on, world events moved on very quickly. So much changed in that time that I am finding it difficult to piece it all together.
Anyway, that is why, as a robot, I am writing this thesis for my university degree.
