    AI rights.

    I’ll say something like “I don’t see why a fancy python script should be allowed to vote” and the youth will be like “that’s so fucked up in so many ways”. “My best friend is an AI why are you so prejudiced”.

        IIRC, consciousness is really, really complicated. We might not be capable of knowing if we are LLMs in meatsuits. An LLM might be a highly vocal infant, and we simply wouldn’t have a great way of really making that judgement. Shit, we still can’t define consciousness in humans–or other animals–in any meaningful way.

          Agreed. I think it’s a spectrum, and even a chair (an object that forms a feedback loop of forces with its surroundings that depends on its previous state) is conscious to a degree.

          I don’t think there is a line
