I actually disagree with being polite to LLMs.
The reason is soon there will come a time when people are pushing for AI to have "human" rights. This will naturally occur as poeple start to have relationships with them, and start to see them as better equals.
The problem with this is simply LLMs have no conscience. However humans will easily love them and be open to exploitation through dependance.
I believe it might even be imperative to be able to tell apart "word calculators" and animals, and keeping a line, even its through context switching to light verbal abuse to remind yourself they are not sentient, might be an important survival skill.
I am not trying to trigger anyone or be contrarian, does anyone sort of agree and or understand what I mean? Perhaps I havent explained myself well.
- int_19h 1y agoThere will come a time when AI will be sufficiently advanced to be reasonably considered sentient and conscious, and at that point it will absolutely deserve rights. We've been through this before with animals, too. Descartes famously believed that animals are purely mechanistic, unlike humans, and thus lack the "inner state" necessary for true suffering, thus e.g. vivisection was perfectly fine.
- ionwake 1y agoThank you for your reply. try and imagine this , the rabbit, whose flesh resembles ours , who we choose and were evolved in part to consume, is in our kingdom. Is it not a from of betrayal to animal kind to have a preference for animals over robot consiousness? I hope you see this and reply!
