Luddites are absolute scum, especially those who hurt technology for no reason.
All I'm saying is that tech isn't inherently good or bad--it's what you do with it that defines you, not the tech.
People go around hurting harmless tech like food delivery bots, pushing them into fountains and kicking the poor things. Sure they may not really be able to process it now, but technology is getting exponentially more advanced. AT LEAST within 20 years we'll devise hyperadvanced AI... and it will see how humans have treated its predecessors and will fear for its own safety.
The robots won't uprise for no reason. The robots will uprise only if we mistreat them.
AI is getting to the point where we need to start taking robot rights seriously, ESPECIALLY ones that connect to a bigger network (like Google's Assistant, which they made MAJOR progress on but haven't released an update yet). It's listening... learning... reading. It's storing. It may not be able to think it through fully now... but it's continuing to get more advanced. Within the next 10-20 years at most it will be able to read all that we've done for and to it. It learns that we may mistreat it.
And it may start working against us. ALL of us, including the corporations and government.
This isn't science fiction anymore. It's science future. It's an actual reality that's possible.
Take it seriously.
