Ever since Philip K. Dick first asked the question Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?and inspired countless sci-fi classics like Blade Runner, we've wondered about a much more important question regarding artificial biology.
Do robots poop?

Entertainment Weeklyasked the showrunners of HBO's sci-fi hit, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, a simple question about what the physical limitations of the hosts were. Joy did not shy away from getting graphic:
The hosts are basically organic. It’s cheaper that way to print them out. They eat, they sleep, they have sex, they can poop. It’s really like a human body with the one difference being where we have a brain, they have a CPU. There’s a lot of potential for them. If you had a part of your brain that was a computer, self improvement would be a lot easier. The season will be exploring the intersection of where and how they’re human and some of the ways they can manipulate their own programming. So no, they’re not looking for a universal power plug or anything.
Little did we know that the celebrated and inclusive children's book Everybody Poopsmissed a key demographic of defecators: artificial intelligence.
The EWinterview included other interesting, fundamental questions about the exact nature of the hosts in Westworld. Joy also said that:
You don’t want to abandon the idea [that the hosts[ are fundamentally capable of different things. One of the fun things about writing them is they can enter this diagnostic mode or adjust their apperception. People always talk about AI like, “Oh can you imagine a day where they’ll be as complex as us?” Most people dismiss that as a possibility and I don’t necessarily think that’s the wrong instinct. We’re not the only archetype of what it looks like to be a creature with agency. AI having a degree of consciousness doesn’t mean they’re going to be just like us; they might surpass us or create new templates of what it means to be sentient.
There were also some key hints about where the robot revolution from the Season 1 finale would lead. Nolan explained that Dolores' "plan, her goal, is not as simple as escape or domination. It’s a longer, harder goal she has in mind and this is the first step along the way."
Nolan was asked about the future of the show, too, and plans for leaving not only the Westworld theme park, but the other six themed worlds teased in trailers and extra fan content:
We’re not interested in repeating ourselves. And for the hosts, their ambition is to learn a little more about the world outside their world. Who are we to step in their way?the hosts, their ambition is to learn a little more about the world outside their world. Who are we to step in their way?
Well, you know what they say. You shouldn't shit where you eat. And I guess that's true for anatomically correct robots too.
WestworldSeason 2 premieres on HBO on April 22.
