You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

nigga we all just biological computers

I guess the biggest difference is the lack of reproductive drive, which is pretty definitive for biological life, but not absolutely essential.

You're speaking with anon, talking about Coldsteel, when anon stops and looks at you with hatred. You draw your sword in anticipation when you realize that anon has teleported behind you. The last thing you hear is "Psh, nothin personnel, kid". How do you respond?

Opposite, really. Non-human entities have no human rights.

If they are capable of coming up with random unique thoughts and expressions and acting out their own agency then yes.

>>50557951
I think agency is one of the most important parts of personhood

I think one of the major setbacks of AI is programmers trying to mimic life instead of create it

No, not people, they're equipment.

People are of no value. We could make more sometime, if we need them.

So long as they are sentient I would think that they were a person.

Even if they weren't I don't think I would treat them badly just more like how Luke Skywalker treats C3PO at the begining of episode 4...

He's a loud, egotistical, narcissistic hedonist. Why wouldn't he sing songs? About himself no less.

>Are synthetic humans people?

In the story? Yes. Most narratives about AI want to be expansive with the definition of people, since the core themes of Science Fiction are meant to be applied to the contemporary world.

Would an AI in reality be a person? No way to know yet. We might not really be able to know after it happens.
