Thinking about how in the early versions of the Aladdin story, the genie -

the powerful entity that Aladdin and the Chinese Magician used to carry out their tasks, that acted in accordance with their instructions and had no self-motivation -

is not only an excellent metaphor for the kind of behavior that people want from AI

but was referred to textually as "the slave of the ring"

Very -explicitly- as a slave.
