    That sounds like slaves with extra steps, so that tracks with my thoughts.

    Tho that seems like a massively dystopian waste of resources when they could just build robots, which surely they will be able to do if they can reanimate humans.

    So yeah, that’s likely.

      Humans are easier to indoctrinate than sapient robots, because human biases are predictable.

      Fascist politician: the Jews are stealing your money to cause the downfall of your race! They’re even breeding your children with black people to destroy you!

      Human reaction: yeah, that makes sense

      Robot reaction: …why tho?

      Robots may still have biases, but they probably won’t be exactly the same as a human’s. I doubt a robot would care for a “think of the children” argument
