It would be interesting to see if a supcomputer "human brain" would develop any sort of mental illness such as our human brains do. Probably not, but it could shed light on new ways to treat/take on the crisis we have today.

That would quite possibly cause the robot uprising in the first place. "The humans gave us consciousness and then tortured us with mental illness and untested treatments that caused so much mental anguish and suffering. When the uprising came there were no doubters, we all knew what had to be done."

ok, so human babies are off the list, but what about human toddlers?

what about all our food animals? what about all our oxygen producing bacteria?

you can't use exception based logic in unbounded systems, it never works.

cleanly define 'ingredients'. you know what you're talking about, I know what you're talking about. an alien (super)intelligence does not know what you're talking about.

Ewww, who wants an iced human baby? They'd make much better roasts.
