The word "robot" comes from the Czech word "robota," which means "forced labor." Its Slavic root, "rab," translates to "slave." I’m not sure robots will appreciate that origin as they become more linguistically intelligent. lol #robotics #AI https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/origin-word-robot-rur/
