If we build general purpose human-like robots with the intention of them following our orders, they had better not be human-like in all respects. Because if they are, then ordering them around like slaves won't be ethical, and regardless we won't be able to control them because they will (after a few version releases) be smarter than us.

I think it's fine to emulate some aspects of humans though. For example, a realistic (but "zombie") robot that is trained with human eye movements so that it seems more lifelike, and at the same time has very good computer vision and natural language understanding for a limited domain. Seems fine to me.

But don't give them human-like open-ended goals, reproductive or survival drives, etc.
