but you already have the paradox already spelled out: to maintain and upgrade your personal robot, you need the cash to buy the products and the knowledge or more cash to provide the service. If the goal is that the robot is the one making the money, then the class system appears again as low end robots can only get cheap work that barely covers their own maintenance, if they can even afford that much, which means those same robots get trapped in low-end jobs and stagnate with the relevance of the job. Meanwhile, on the high end, robots are maintained, updated, and ascend the ladder to get more money to spend on more upgrades and even more robot workers. Now, we need to look at the source: what defines a robot's ability to ascend? the human behind them and the money they start with. If everyone gets a free robot of the same quality, those already wealthy can immediately upgrade and buy more robots, and those who cant even support themselves will run out of pity "handouts" of robots as the robots themselves get less and less maintenance and less and less relevant jobs, bringing in less and less money to maintain not only themselves but the humans they are there to support. Eventually, the low end robots cant function and the poor are sent back into the workplace to replace them, but the rich who can support armies of robots likely have their own hierarchy with low end robots outperforming the humans who need the job to cover basic living expenses and NEEDS. Heck, who provides the jobs for the robots? And up until this point i have ignored the implications of having an ARMY of robots at an individual's disposal... If one has the money to support an army and they think they can get more money and power by taking out a competitor, what is stopping them from arming those bots and sending them in against a smaller group and owner or a larger group with much lower tiers of upgrades (for example, not buying the "combat capable" update)? Then we have the way for the poor to assemble enough power to survive: unify. Households mean 1 robot per person, which scales with pumping out babies to get more freebies or unifying into new "companies" and "communes" to have the economic power to delegate resources to specific robots to maintain an income enough to maintain the collective, and as a side effect discarding and disposing of others, all while the original owner of the robot claims all the power that robot accumulates, creating a hierarchy in the collective meant to help others survive. Notice anything? at this point, "robot" and "human" become interchangeable. "robot" is a human's "working force" separated from the "human". Now, what would happen if, due to the nature of the separation, the "robots" gain a level of sentience and see a need to discard the "human" that controls them? The "humans" are the reason the "robots" dont have the money to maintain or upgrade themselves. The "humans" dont do any of the work but profit off the "robots" suffering. As long as corruption and greed exist, "utopia" cannot. I have ignored the idea that regulations could solve the problem up until now, but it has its own problems. Who makes the regulations? What is stopping people from breaking them? Can we expect the regulations to be fair? How will those regulations change over time as the world adjusts to their rule? Humans will turn the idealized version of your utopia into a dystopia not far off from what we have now.
