I will take that oddly seriously and say no. The golem tales have arguably led to a lot of other things: you can make a real argument for them as the grandfathers of all science fiction robots who just weren't quite sentient. But I also think that's the distinguishing factor: sentience. If something can truly think and make decisions for itself, it's not a golem -- at least, not one that stayed on the main trunk of the original tree.Even so, my favorites are one of the divergences: the Discworld golems. They can think -- but they have no free will. They were created to serve as workers, they follow every order, and their only form of rebellion is following one a little too closely. When not working, they can act on their own -- but most of them are kept laboring at all times, so as to prevent those acts. And they have no choice in any of it, because the chem in their heads tells them what they can be, and only their owners can tell them what to do.
And then one day in the course of a police investigation, Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson purchased a golem for one A-M dollar. Got a formal written sales receipt. And stuck it in the golem's head right next to the chem.
A piece of paper which told the golem that it now owned itself.
It touched off the single quietest slave revolt in Disc history...
(Short version: they now labor for the funds to buy each other. Each purchased golem gets its receipt, freeing it -- and then that golem works to help purchase another, and so on down the line.)
