Why wouldn't we be like pets to superhumans?

They'd care for us but wouldn't give us total freedom or value our input. My dog has no say in the computer I buy and goes on walks and visits other dogs when I decide, but I still think it's cool to watch her ambush mice or catch a frisbee.

A superintelligent being would probably find intrigue in the uniquely human things we do and will keep us socialized and meet our basic needs because it's how to keep us pleasant companions.
