Perhaps you will one day have a microwave oven dedicated to your honor.

Perhaps she isn’t owned by the company but, rather, employed.

A robot does not HAVE emotions. It can SIMULATE them, thus fooling idiots and a$$holes who are watching.
It is “IT”, not “SHE”. It does not have a sex. It can only display the supposed attributes of one of the two human sexes, thus fooling idiots and a$$holes who are watching.
A robot cannot possess citizenship, and so this grant is invalid.

What happens when they program a machine to yell “allahu akbar” and to blow itself up?
And does it get 72 young robots in paradise?

President Marjorie Bota: According to the records at the NorthAm Robotics Company, the robot also known as Andrew Martin, was powered up at 5:15 pm on April 3rd, 2005. In a few hours, he'll be 200 years old, which means that with the exception of Methuselah and other biblical figures, Andrew is the oldest living human in recorded history. For it is by this proclamation, I validate his marriage to Portia Charney, and acknowledge his humanity.

It’s going to be funny when they discover that this “robot” is a controlled drone with a human operator.

Yes except in that case the operator is a demon from hell, not a human.

Well the robot is now due all the rights of females in Saudi Arabia. Which is to say nothing.

“Sophia made global headlines when she was granted Saudi citizenship,”... and promptly covered under a head-to-toe black robe, then imprisoned for being out in public without being escorted by a male relative.

Touching on concerns that robots could eventually outsmart humans and pose a threat, he added: “They are so smart they will understand it is meaningless to attack humans.”


We’re a lot smarter than cockroaches, yet we still attack them wherever we find them.
