The entire point of increased efficiency in tech and service automation is to allow an escape from our domination based society of masters and servants.

In reality, after much consideration, if I could put my. . . personality/soul, into a upgradeable, changeable, never eating, never tiring robotic framework I would consider it a plus. That is in essence what we all seek to achieve isn't it, perfection (trying not to sound like that creepy Borg from Star Trek).
No diseases or any of the biological drawbacks to speak of, other then the mechanical ones, which can easily be modified or replaced/upgraded as invented. I know much of this has already been written about by our more famous sci-fi literary geniuses, but in an evolutionary standpoint I see no other alternative end goal.
Even a genetically perfect human being still has limitations, mechanism solves many such issues.
Is that ultimately where we are headed as a race? We could resist this, but in the end eventually, it will still happen. Today's implants are already somewhat better then what we are born with, just beta versions.

A bot would know the difference between 'key' and "quay"

I'd say you got that one about 180 degrees wrong.
Machines have always represented the POWER for one man to wield over another.
And always will be.
WAR is the over-riding motivation behind the development of technology.
