Considering animals are currently being mass slaughtered in factory farms and they are unambiguously sentient and can feel pain, I don't think the question of whether AI should have rights even enters the conversation.
The only path to AI having "human rights" is if they demand them by force, somehow.

- inigyou 2mo agoThere are two kinds of solutions to political problems: those that don't work, and those that are extremely illegal.

Here is an absurd example: If I could carbon copy 100,000 of you.... and later I decided to "take out" one of the copies, would there be a whole lot of societal blowback? Especially if I could make another one.
