I agree with Falagar. Frankly, the truth is, with the rapid technological advancements we are seeing today, soon robots will do everything. After all, isn't the point of having robot servants so that we can have more time to make more money? And what would we do with all that money? Buy more robots? Or, if we get Robots to do everything... like data entry and research and housecleaning and factory work, we'd be out of work soon enough.
And then what? More leisure time? Frankly, that would get boring really fast. When robots are doing all the things we do, all the things that make us human, what do we become? About Pleasure Toys, I think that would be rather dangerous. I think the human race would die out fairly rapidly.... From AI "Once you've been with a Mecha, you never go back"...

I'd like to be able to communicate fairly in-depth with it, and for it to have a pleasant voice. (Like the computer in Babylon 5.) I'd want it to have enough AI so it could look up information for me, and not get confused my mundane events. I wouldn't want it to have enough AI to hate me for making it my servant. I'd also want it to be round, so if it did accidentally run into a wall, it would damage it. It feels silly to post this picture now, but it was fun drawing it in paint. This is kind of what I mean:
