Guys like James Corbett have been documenting a push to view robots as humans in the culture[1]. This trend is worrying to Corbett because he believes that it will be used to justify AI control of the population. For example, if robot police are used to control people then throwing a rock at a robot drone will be considered a felony because that robot is a person and has feelings too. If you disable a robot policeman then you killed it and you can be executed for that, etc. Maybe your home needs to be demolished to put in a robot factory. Robots are people to and have the right to live. Oh they should be able to vote to. And who programs the robots? They get extra rights for each robot they make. It's essentially laying the philosophical groundwork for an automated sybil attack on civil society.
