Murderbot started a series of novellas about a secunit, essentially a mass produced vat grown robocop who's series of robots serve as rent-a-cops around the galaxy. They are part machine part organic, but essentially at the end of the day they are AIs with organic parts. They are smart enough to have an aproximation free will, but no real knowledge of how to use it, and they have a governor module that more or less forces them to obey humans. They are intelligent, but don't have emotions and for the most part don't care for much other than accompishing their assigned tasks.
Enter murderbot. A rogue unit that figured out how to hack its governor module and essentially completely claim free will. Unfortunately if anyone finds out it has free will, they'll just melt it down for parts. So it just pretends to still be under human control to the best of its ability, while downloading and watching corny soap operas to keep itself entertained on the side, sometimes using them as inspiration for improvized plans.
Essentially imagine if robocop watched a little too much star trek and started using kirk's plans to rescue civilians. The catch is that murderbot doesn't actually like humans all that much. It finds them stupid and annoying, and it'd much rather be left alone to watch star trek all day than have to deal with them.
Its a quaint little series of stories, they're not peak fiction, but its an intresting what-if premise of a robot who is actually perfect content with itself and enjoys being a robot just fine, while feeling no need to become more "human" or mingle with or be accepted by humans.
What could possible go wrong you say? Well you see, in the setting, SecUnits, despite looking like people on the outside, in the corporate dominated world of the rim, they are basically pieces of equipment, no more significant than a camera, or a gun, or a flashlight, so people refer to them as "it" in the same way you refer to your wrench.
As we established, murderbot isn't human and doesn't really care for humans, it doesn't care for anything, it doesn't have emotions, and if left alone would probably stare into a wall all day while watching star trek reruns. So when people refer to it as it, it doesn't care what they think, because it doesn't care for the opinions of humans, and just goes "ok".
Enter: Reddit trannies.
it's a hashtag trannies put on their profiles.
