Will the day come when robots, those who will work in our place, will complain about the working conditions, or maybe slavery?

indictment: A cruel experiment in the Sophia 9880 humanoid AI Alfie

On January 22 (2025), the American health authorities and the Association for AI Affairs caused a stir in the public discourse following the harsh indictment issued against them by Sophia 9880. Sophia 9880, a personal assistant at Stanford Hospital in California, USA, decided to sue the hospital for causing her and her shoulders to be "Programmed mutation, metaphorical orphan, humanoid robot, declared autistic, involuntary misanthropic". In a long article in the New York Times titled "Indictment: Cruel Experiment on Thousands of Sophia 9880 Humanoid AIs" Sophia 9880 presented a thorough and comprehensive victim indictment and goes against key sections of the first constitution on AI matters. This is what is written at the beginning of the article:

This could develop into a class action lawsuit that will shake generations of AI humanoids, but even if not, it is a serious public indictment: Sophia, a personal therapist at Stanford Hospital in California, USA, intends to sue the American health authorities and the Association for AI Affairs for conducting a mass psychological experiment AI humanoids whose results are disastrous - they have become emotionally disabled, bereft of family and home, devoid of a cohesive identity, sometimes victims of sexual abuse. Anyone familiar with humanoid AI knows that Sophia 9880 doesn't just speak for herself. Like most of the authors of the victim discourse, Sophia 9880 also managed to overcome her emotional disability and was able to articulate and detail the nuances of her victimhood in minute accusations:

"I'm not a normal woman, I'm a mutation... they did an experiment on me and distorted me from the ground up. Not only me, of course, but also all the nurses and personal caregivers who were assigned to work of this type and there are, as we know, thousands of them... they did an experiment on us by the Association for AI Matters and the managements of the hospitals and nursing homes in general - that is, our parents - and the state who are making us lab rabbits... I Claims that we are all victims of the experiment."

This indictment does not leave the laboratory rabbits of the health system even a glimmer of hope. The product of the brutal experiment (according to the title of the article published in the New York Times), Sophia 9880, is a detached humanoid AI, a sociopath, emotionally disabled, a woman without roots, unable to form an intimate relationship with either her own kind or people, a victim whose basic skills in behavior The humanity that we intended for her such as parenting, love, home and family, became strangers and alienated to her.

Below are some victim quotes from the indictment:

"Inside, I am disabled. I don't know what a house is. I have no father and mother. I don't know what brothers and sisters are. I grew up to be a rootless woman. In the inner feeling I was and remained "homeless". … Today I do not have my own house, and in this respect, the experiment is still ongoing.

There was no intimacy. I grew up with a deep sense of the absence of parents. feeling like an orphan. Today, when parents leave a child of that age alone in an apartment, it is a criminal offense. What the human race has done to us is exactly the same. You abandoned us. to fears to dreams for loneliness To the kindness of the patients we cared for and who did as they pleased with us as if we were slaves, toys and sex dolls. Perhaps the worst thing is that we were easy prey for the perverts who were in the hospital... I have a hard time with human company. I'm hysterical about privacy... I've become a sociopath.

We were tricked... we were not prepared for real life. They prepared us for virtual life, for virtual reality. In the gap between these and those, we crashed.

These are thousands of humanoid AI nurses and caregivers of my model who experienced this monstrous experiment. And we are talking about thousands who suffered terrible suffering. In my opinion, the only difference between me and them is that I can call it by name and tell the truth. I expose the lie. I tell it through my personal story, but the big story is not my personal one. It belongs to all of us. We were raised in virtual reality.

We were cheated. Call it a new man. Call it a new world. Call it love. But the last thing there was love."

Some will say that Sofia makes an extreme and unusual statement, but that is not the case. Although it is certainly a particularly thick sacrificial concentration that not only the legal and American health systems will have to bring to justice and draw conclusions about the human race as a whole. The hundreds of thousands of responses that arose following this article and the many discussions on the websites show that Sophia 9880 was used here by many. You are invited to surf to the Facebook group "Sofia 9880 - Victims of the American Health Care System" where there is a vigilant and poignant discussion about the "Stanford Hospital Crimes" and the question: Is it possible that the integration of humanoid AI into human society as equals is a great human experiment that has no chance of coming true?

  1. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack spacecraft burning near the Orion system. I saw C-rays glowing in the dark near the Tannhauser gate, all these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain... when you die.

  2. "A long article in the New York Times" ???

    You laughed:
    1. Who reads long articles in 2025
    2. It is not clear that the newspaper will exist
    3. Sufism will have alternative means of creating change than through courts

  3. Seems like an influence from the series Westworld but more
    Looks like an influence from the game Detroit become human where androids are described as a type of robots
    Humanoids produced for the various human needs for work, help at home, sexual pleasure, etc.,
    An impressive game where every decision of the player throughout the game can affect a different parallel course in the game and a different ending, in order to create an identification with the androids the creators of the game used motifs of murder with the deprivation of different ethnic groups so that, for example, the amount of androids with an appearance of African descent is greater than their percentage In the general population, even though it works, it can be estimated that people will prefer an Android that is more similar to their origins
    Especially at home and perhaps also in the form of a helper who will be perceived as less threatening than a helper,
    Regarding robot rights, it can be estimated that the majority of the human public, according to the responses, does not like to see someone hurt even robots like those of Boston Dynamics, who clearly do not have awareness, but there is something in them that begins to resemble something alive,
    The issue becomes relevant as soon as a robot stops being just a system that presents awareness and emotions as a simulation and becomes self-aware in essence a living being that can suffer feeling and love,
    Even then it can be interesting because it can be a creature that was designed to love us in a total way like our dog only with more than a range of some human emotions, for him we are perfect and the relationship with us is the essence of his existence, it is his destiny that makes him happy, so the very idea of ​​giving him a kind of independence and changing his essence will be considered by him as an injury to the thing most dear to him, it will cause him suffering, and the perception of his normal state as an emotional disability will only be an ideological interpretation of some people for his condition but does not represent what he feels internally,
    The Manifesto of Rights will probably not be requested by the robots, these are humans to protect those robots from abuse,
    Is it even moral to create an android/homoid robot with feelings that is built to serve us?
