        No, I think it’s weird you’re equating slavery with using software and machinery to automate things. Are you sure you’re not a bot?

          Guy in the OP is the one who said they wished AI would be declared "person"s so they could adopt own them and profit off their labor while sipping drinks.

            I think they meant a “legal person,” in the same way a corporation is a person (in the US).

              And I think the kind of asshole who makes a pronoun joke is pining to benefit from enslavement.

              Regardless, they clearly desire to reap where others sowed which is dickish.

                Again, we’re talking about using technology to make human lives better. Even if AI is legally recognized as a “person,” that shouldn’t change our morals.

                  No, we are talking about a private individual owning persons and profiting off their labor.

                    Yes, but a “person” can be a corporation, and now apparently a machine learning algorithm. A “person” isn’t always a human. I care about humans, not whatever our current legal system calls a “person.”
