Synthetic

"Referring to any and all autonomous creatures constructed primarily out of manufactured parts.  Once slaves to their masters bidding and their own programming, they are now slaves to money like everyone else.  They vary wildly in design and origin, purpose and quality, but any and all synthetic autonomous beings that do not belong to a specific group of defined individuals fall into this category.  Not included are self-replicating creatures (these would have their own category) or pre-programmed creatures without sentience or autonomy (these are generally just considered machines and are rarely used without the assistance of some outside AI anyway).  Thus, if it isn’t organic, but can think and probably doesn’t like you, it is a Synthetic."
