Well, in human history there have been many people bred as inputs to an industrial process. Today most people of conscience look on those situations (past and present) in horror. I would hope that humans someday learn to never allow that to happen to any of us again.

I would hope so too, but here we are, racing full steam towards AGI.

Dude, already happening, it never stopped, it isn't 'horror' it's 'efficiency'. There is no such thing as 'people of conscience'. It will always happen, because, human nature.
