Pretty sure I saw this in a 60’s comic book, lol.
As dystopian as that is, I imagine it’s a whole lot cheaper and more stable to just make a robot and drop a brain into it… Wait, wait, I mean build a robot and develop some kind of interface that enables humans to control them quickly and accurately.
Ah, hell, maybe that comic was right after all.
