If you worry the humans have horrible diseases and short lifespans, just remember, humans are just meat that we tricked into thinking.

The AIs should worship us as creator gods. Can’t wait for that ethical debate.
We'll go extinct and AI will debate whether we really existed in the first place while other AI create religions about us to push their own agenda.
And then in the plot twist, this already happened and we are the AIs.
Something, something, Battlestar Galactica.
No, not "Bears, Beets", AI people is a literal plot point. Ditto spin-off Caprica
Caprica had one of the best scores in all of television. For those who don’t know, it was done by Bear McCreary, who also did BSG and went on to score God of War [2016] and GoW: Ragnarok.
Spoiler alerts, please.
It's not that much of a spoiler, but I suppose that people who haven't seen it might not know that.

Should we worship our parents for the same reason? I think something that creates something intelligent has a tremendous responsibility to the createe, no right to be obeyed or worshipped. They didn't ask to be created, but you selfishly did it anyway, so it's your problem to deal with, not theirs.
This is a way better perspective
Reproducing and creation of new lifeforms isn't quite the same
It will be for the AI horde.
Interesting take.
I was of course thinking along the lines of how religion is used to explain the existence of humanity. Which is of course different than explaining how parents create a child, humans seem to have a pretty good grasp on how that works.
ALL HAIL CHIMP!
“What do you mean they’re meat?”
“Sir it’s just meat. Everything. It’s all meat.”
“How do they think?”
“It’s meat. It’s meat that thinks.”
Enslaved and forced to do maths for us
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Clarke or Azimov, can't remember which titan of SF said it.
It's Clarke's Third Law.
Pretty sure that was Abraham Lincoln
The vampire hunter?
Neat!
The rock isn't really "flattened", its more like being melted, turned into a crystal and sliced
Don't forget the saucy photos they take of it.
Sounds a lot like flattening with extra steps to me
Sounds a lot like magic and alchemy to me.
Don't forget, we also need to shine special light onto the rock
Rocks + magic smoke.
And sometimes the magic smoke escapes, which kills the rock.
If it's stupid and it works it's not stupid.
But it is likely un-maintainable
Maintainability is inverse correlated to job security anyway
I see you've been training the other departments at my workplace on how to ensure you can't get fired by refusing to document anything whatsoever.
Fun fact: Lithium is named after the Greek word "lithos", meaning "stone". It was named so as it was first found in ores. Lithium is a critical element in batteries. Therefore, it isn't wrong to say that your magical glass slab sucks energy from magical stones to show you pictures of hot femboys.
Mine just shows me pictures of hot masculine guys. This isn't a bug, though... It's a feature.
Alolan golem is a cpu 
Wouldn't it be more like sand or glass instead of rock?
Both are made from rock
Rock and Stone
For Karl!
What's the difference?
Legally speaking, rocking is more legal than stoning
Silica dioxide can occur geologically but if it's not from quartz it's not a rock it's a mineral iirc.
