To be honest I think being cared for by a robot would would be pretty dehumanizing.

  A robot transports you (car). A robot decides your credit rating. A robot makes your clothes (weaving machine). How is a robot wiping your backside any different?

    "A robot decides your credit rating." That is already pretty dehumanizing. As are decisions of opaque Facebook and Google algorithms to demonetize / disable your account, with no obvious recourse to living human beings.

      What's dehumanizing is having your trustworthiness reduced to a single number at all, not the fact that it is done in a semi-automated manner.

        While I think your idea is substantiated, the semi-automated manner seems worse to me. IDK why, but being submitted to robotic decisions wakes extreme resistance in me.
