If they can do "everything a human can do" then it's indistinguishable from humans. Which means that they can't be enslaved and have the same rights as humans.

Maybe? Robots don’t and probably won’t have emotions. They may “enjoy” working. I know most people do not, and if every day was a weekend and we had the resources that we didn’t worry about food and shelter, then people would find more enjoyable things to do than working.

First we have to get through the upheaval that will certainly happen as people lose their jobs before the social safety net is erected, and then all of the subsequent issues with self governance that could go horribly wrong when we have stronger and stronger AI. (Insert your favorite dystopian scifi novel.)

If they were programmed to “enjoy” working then it probably won’t be creative for that we’re telling it what to do.
