I think that this story really is a idea of what could happen to robots if we keep building them smarter than humans. We cant expect to create something and have them not ask questions about their existence. But this situation is how i see a situation actually happen. It is very intellectual to figure out that if you are stronger and smarter than your creator, then your creator must be smarter and stronger than you. That would be my logic if I was created for the use of humans because they couldn't do it anymore. If I was created to know that i am stronger then humans, that's how i would live my life. Walking with superiority and thinking that you are the greatest creation. It is scary to think that if we do create such beings that are greater than us, they will become a sort of cult that knows they are greater than humans. What if we create these robots and they didn't believe the same logic of existence as us humans do. They could create their own race with their own religion and that would cause much destruction on Earth. I think that it is good that they let QT keep going on with his religion because it seemed like he wouldn't get over his logic of why he was created. It also surprised me that they were making the robots to take over the control of humans on the ship. We then have no reason to complain if they rebel against our word because we have put into their head that they are the smarter being. They are here to do the things that humans cant do anymore. They have nothing else but to think that they are the smarter being and there must have been some great master above them other than humans. I don't have a problem with creating robots to help us with certain things but we cant expect to not have these reprocutions along with their creation. The more questions they have, the more curiosity they have of what else is in the world. That causes more conflicts than we are known to handle. I don't know if its all worth it in the end. For all Powell knows, QT could create a great cult to come down to Earth and become the greater being destroying others because they are then smarter than the rules they were created by.
