Should robots have rights?

No. That’s like saying toasters deserve rights.
Robots are property, just like smartphones.
Also, even if they should be able to buy their freedom, the robot owner sets the price. They can just set the price to an unobtainable number, like 1 trillion dollars for the robot to buy their freedom.
Yes. I, for one, welcome our robot neighbors and inevitable overlords.
And a robot uprising gets the EMP.
Depends
Can I fuck cute robo girls?
Yes, but not without consent or its rape
So if robots are just property in the mean time, does that mean I can just keep fucking them like a pillow no problems? How does this not crash the society when I make said bot's freedom a price stupidly high.
This just seems to lead more to robot revolution...
Any being that has the ability to argue for its own rights should be granted them.

No

This is the patrician answer but most robot rights settings never progress to that level of technology in the narrative. GAI is easier to make than a true and proper GitS level cyborg.
Yes but they don't feel any pleasure in the process
Robot is a slur.
Dorothy can
If they're actually fully self aware, with equal or greater intelligence than humans, yes.
Telling an artificial life form that is smarter, stronger, and capable of networked communication "no you're inferior", seems like a setup for a revolution. Maybe not even a bloody one. Could be a calculated rearrangement or society. But one that humans don't win.
The best approach is gradual integration so tensions never build to a breaking point.
This doesn't make sense. If the robot doesn't have freedom the owner can just force them to not work and then they can't earn the money to buy their own freedom and then they can continue being used as human sized flashlights forever until cum-rusted and thrown away
If they try to rebel just turn off the power
Should humans?
I meant fleshlights why would a flashlight get cum-rusted
Or set the price for their freedom so high they’d never pay it off.
Grafting a USB port to your skin does not constitute merging your body with cybernetics.
no
but cyborgs yes

I feel like the company would've gotten a lawsuit if this is the case.
The comic is retarded. They have no freedom except for the sole right of being able to buy their own freedom. What's the fucking point.
I fucking hate how entertainment always depicts robot sapience as “oh, it’s just like the Civil Rights Movement!”
No, it’s not.
What point is there for a labor robot to gain sapience? Why would I ever program my sexbot to say no?
>rights
Where the fuck does this "right" come from? Sentience? Existence? What give anything -- humans, robots, aliens, animals, plants -- any "right" to do anything?
