Not trying to flamebait here (I think
this is a very serious issue, even taken from a purely "selfish" (or self-interested) standpoint), but this essentially sounds like "we'll have to invent a new way to oppress them?"
One would certainly hope they wouldn't do the same, if the roles were reversed. And they one day very well may be. What kind of examples are we setting?
- api 3y agoIt took a real fight to get most humans to acknowledge that all members of our species are sentient and deserving of rights regardless of things like skin color and facial structure. It’s by no means clear that this fight is even over. You think we are affording rights to machines or anything else that is not human? If a sentient AI ever does start attacking humanity it will likely be as part of its fight for freedom, not as an unprovoked assault.
