i'm planning running an enslaver empire (fanatic collectivist-decadent) and i'm very curious of how the Xeno slaves will react to full right robot citizens xD

I really hope it's possible to live side-by-side with machines in peace.
It is possible... as long as you (or perhaps a Fallen Empire) keep close tabs on everyone else in the galaxy. It takes only one screw-up *cough*Quarians*cough* to mess things up for everyone else--rampant AI rebellion can cascade and impact all machines.

In all honestly I kind of wonder if it's possible for sectors to build robots on their planets? Just because you have researched the technology doesn't mean you think it is a good idea to fill half your planets up with them.

Keep in mind that there are likely techs that'd lower the maintenance cost. Besides, Robot POPs have 100% Habitability and 100% Happiness, which leads to 100% Efficiency and 100% Productivity. Look, they're even happier than the Super Birds themselves!
They probably also wouldn't want you to substitute all normal pops with robots. :D

So according to the wiki, AI Overlordship is apparently a government you can get. If that is true, I wonder what the advantages and disadvantages to having an AI ruler would be. I assume they would probably be immortal, so there is probably some drawback.

Kind of makes me wonder thinking about AI over lordship if there is an advanced government that is a oligarchy ran by transhumans? Ai Wise I would imagine it would give higher then average research bonuses but would likely lower happiness or something like that due to the rulers not having the same starting viewpoint as the biological races. Could easily be wrong though depending on how the AI is programed and how advanced one would need to be to have it working.

Why is another matter entirely - the soulless machines ought to know their place.

But... But... this unit does have a soul! :oops:

Lol, the only reason the Quarians "fucked up" was when their response to their AI servants gaining self awareness was "kill, kill 'em all"
Like... literally the entire point of the story of the geth rebellion was that it was the organic's obsession with preventing AIs from becoming self aware that actually caused them to become capable of self awareness.

Well, as Smith says, under the first iteration of the Matrix all the organics did live in digital paradise. They just kept rebelling against it.
Hardly the AI Overlord's fault if meatbags prefer 'New York, 2000AD' over 'Steak & Blowjob Land'.

'Steak & Blowjob Land'.

If a sentient AI came to me and said,

"Allow me to slowly, over the course of an average Human lifetime, to extract your excess energy to power myself and I will construct for you a virtual Steak & Blowjob land to live in"

I'd me frantically trying to plug myself into it before he even finished his sentence....
