It's a machine, Charles, created and operated by humans. It has no sense of autonomy, no self-identity, no consciousness, no will. It can't do anything unless a human makes it do something.

None of which makes it a "new race"; what it is is a fancy power-tool...

Call me old-fashioned, but I wouldn't want to have sex with it.

@8 -- even in space?

You could wear a 60s style Apollo suit with a big bubble helmet.
