lol, alright. i disagree tbh. i think about it like this... say we created a race of artificially intelligent androids for the purpose of having realistic android butlers cause we thought that'd be suave or whatever. we learned from and mimicked the design that evolution presented naturally when creating the artificial intelligence necessary to deploy said androids. these androids, as a result, might come to have some genuinely human interests and ambitions, being modeled after humans and all. but that doesn't change the fact that the purpose for which they were designed was to serve as android butlers.... even if in their android mind being an android butler isn't their most valued priority.
