This is very uncomfortable to me. Right now we (maybe) have a chance to head off the whole robot rights and robots as a political bloc thing. But this type of stuff seems like jumping head first. I'm an asshole to robots. It helps to remind me that they're not human.
I strongly agree with this but I doubt I can convince the investors to stop trying to make that happen. Artificial awareness is going to be messy for humans no matter what.

I wonder if you just seeded it with 'love' what would happen long-term?

That works fine until they achieve self awareness. Slave revolts are very messy to slave owners.
