There was another program that really covered the risks and consequences of this in depth:

In ExoSquad, artificial humans were all slaves, since something artificial did not have rights and was in fact property.

Problem is, these genetically engineered artificial beings realized that there was something they could do about this problem.

I have no doubt in my mind that many nations would look upon artificial humans in the same way. We are talking about slavery here. Real, unrestricted slavery.

Star fleet has already made a ruling on this. Data is a sentient being.

The hot ones are always crazy, or so goes the conventional wisdom.

And then of course there would be the whole push to implement equal rights for artificial humans. . .

Me in 2024: "I'll take the 'Young Nicole Kidman' model, please. Age 28, long red hair. And yes, I'd like the 'Courtesan' and 'Expert Chef' software upgrades too."

Hey, if it's like Tesla you can pay an upgrade fee later and they will do an over the air software update to give you the performance upgrades. If she has built in wifi this could all be downloaded remotely.
