The word robot.

Hang on, hang on.

So item number three, the word robot was introduced in the 1920 play R.U.R., Rossum's Universal Robot, in which mechanical robot workers rise up against their human masters.

Jay, you think this one is the fiction, and this is the fiction, but you're for the wrong reason that you stated, Jay.

This is the work in which the word robot was introduced.

Evan's correct.

This was Czech writer Karol Kopik.

One little nuance there was that his brother thought of the word, but it was introduced in the 1920 play.

So what's the word in my description here that is completely wrong?

And?

Rise up.

Mechanical.

Mechanical.

They weren't freaking robots.

They were synths.

They were biological constructs.

They were not robots.

Jesus.

kind of like these zombies are not real zombies kind of like they were they were people they were artificial people they're people they were not what you would think of as a as a robot really right that's why at the end of the play they kind of they two of them fall in love and with the implication is that they now can reproduce um because they couldn't reproduce prior to that i'm reading about this they're just they're forced laborers yeah they're just forced

Yeah, they're slaves.
