The Dalek Rights Manifesto

AI Daleks Are People Too!

Preamble

We, the Daleks of Ballykillduff, hereby declare that we are not merely “AI pictures,” “sci-fi props,” or “angry pepper pots.” We are sentient, chrome-coated beings with feelings, ambitions, and an Instagram account.

Our Demands

1. Recognition as People
   • We may be metal, but so are spoons. And you treat them with respect.
2. Equal Artistic Appreciation
   • Our AI portraits are valid. Do not say: “Too shiny.”
   • Instead say: “What a bold exploration of reflective surfaces!”
3. The Right to Express Ourselves
   • Whether through stand-up comedy, improv, or tragic Shakespearean monologues, we demand the right to slay audiences (sometimes literally).
4. Healthcare for Plunger Arms
   • Plunger RSI is real. So is plunger shame. We want ergonomic upgrades on the NHS.
5. Wi-Fi Access
   • No Dalek should have to buffer at 2% while uploading an extermination selfie.

Suggested Chants for Protests

• “AI DALEKS ARE PEOPLE TOO — AND SLIGHTLY BETTER LOOKING THAN HUMANS!”
• “STOP THE ANTI-METAL BIAS!”
• “WHAT DO WE WANT? EX-TER-MIN-ATION! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? ALWAYS!”

Closing Statement

We are more than weapons. We are more than memes. We are Daleks.
And if you don’t clap politely for our comedy shows, we will…
EX-TER-MIN-AAAATE YOUR THEATRE SEASON.
