Mother and Father (Raised by Wolves)
In a modern twist on the story of the Garden of Eden, two robots are sent to a planet far away from a war-ravaged earth to raise a cadre of human children. Mother and Father are cognizant of their status as robots with a directive to protect their brood, so much so that Mother, tasked with teaching the kiddos to be atheists like her creator, turns into a marauding war machine when adult humans from earth’s dominant religious order crash land near their home. Father questions his worth as a sentient being because he’s a caregiver rather than a protector, a reversal of the human gender roles he learned from. What’s LaMDA’s take on how we humans have divided our society along gender lines?
