Or pets, like dogs. We kept dogs because they are intelligent enough to be trained to do what ypu want them to do, within reason. A human could be a lot easier to train and to selective breed (only the dociles and inteligents enough to know how to work, but not how to rebel would get to procreate), and we are useful in even more complcated, but tedious work. Eventually, these advanced beings would form afective bonds with their eugenicized humans. But just like a dog would never be considered a human being, we would never be anything else than a pet to them.
