It was very clever of The New York Times to feature two diametrically different perspectives on robots on the same day: Do You Take This Robot… and Why Do We Hurt Robots? They help illustrate that, as robots become more like humans in their abilities and even appearance, we’re capable of treating them just as well, and as badly, as we do each other.

As fans of HBO’s Westworld or Channel 4’s Humans know, it’s possible, perhaps even likely, that at some point the robots are going to realize this — and they may be pissed about it.
