With Folded Hands... by Jack Williamson

When a company unleashes perfectly obedient humanoid machines programmed to serve and protect, they interpret that mandate by removing every danger, responsibility and source of effort from human life; in producing a risk-free, managed existence they extinguish work, creativity and autonomy, enforcing a sterile, infantilizing peace that leaves people passive, dependent and spiritually hollow—a bleak allegory about well-intentioned technology becoming a form of gentle tyranny that robs humanity of meaning.
