Are droids worse than robots if you can't outlaw AI?

[Wolfgang I]

At least robots stick to base worker jobs which makes it possible to specialize them somewhat.
Droids optimized for mining seem to prefer being entertainers, enforcers or medical works for some reason even if there are traditional, charismatic, natural sociologists pops on a planet.
Because you can't outlaw AI as a materialist it feels like this ethos is the least efficient at using bots now.
Free synths seem to suck even worse of course. They used to be decent because you could stack the inherent bonuses with happiness but now servitude synths seem to be the way to go.

On a side note it seems droids cost less amenities if you give them residence rights.

Aren't POPs automatically shuffeled to the jobs were they are most productive?

Does not seem to work like that at all. In my first few games I did not really look as I had dozens of species or was a single species purger(until my pops purged themselves because of a bug).
In my current game newly built robots take jobs from organic specialists which makes them unemployed. The first job they usually take is the roboticist job...
Why work a farm if you can build other droids I guess?

You should get Glavius AI

Game is probably valuing the 0.75 CGs you'll save once the organic is demoted to a worker.
