I found it creepy only because of the uncanny valley. The movement was.... close but not exactly human, and the face was dragging the bottom of the uncanny valley, which actually means it was very close to human.
The story itself I took as a metaphor, as in telling this properly would take a long movie, here we're compressing it into a very short one.
But it did make me think how I would react to human level AI used as any kind of a slave. That is to say, human level intellect but with no right to primary self determination.
To me the existence of something like that would demonstrate that a world where human intellect is enslaved is...at least possible. That to me is, at least indirectly, a threat to real humans' presumed universal right to self-determination. That is why I would support extending basic human rights to human level AI, just to prevent setting a precedent where that level of intellect (even if only in silicon) can be non-free.

Most people (not saying you) just don't care, so long as it's not local.
