It's ironic that real atheists like Richard Dawkins (whose work I believe inspired the title of this post) are public about their own degree of skepticism in favor for the "personhood" of AI. And I'm confident that there are plenty others who are convinced to the tune of total disinterest in the issue of "personhood" altogether—AIs and humans alike.
This particular post is preaching to the choir of which a faith is yet to be determined or named at least. People who don't read Cory Doctorow are going to continue to anthropomorphize AI the same as they do other technologies, constructs and objects.
- omnicognate 5d agoWhat's a "real atheist"?

- omnicognate 5d agoI see. I'm a real atheist then, and Richard Dawkins does not speak for me.
- tolerance 5d agoAnd in what ways do you differ on this matter?
