    If AI is truly intelligent, then they need rights. It’s the same reason why it’s wrong to abuse animals. But, the rich need servants. They can’t do anything for themselves. Let’s fuck over the tech bros and demand that AI be given rights.

      1. It’s absolutely not “intelligent”. You’re letting techbros con you into thinking text predictors are sentient. Don’t let them.

      2. This story is explicitly about how the robot wasn’t autonomous, and was clearly being operated remotely by a human.

          “Person” covers all bases, and I agree about rights for humans. Hard to say what their situation is without knowing more, though.

            Yeah. Good point about the terminology covering all bases. I guess that part of my comment points more towards my experience, and making sure I was being inclusive. As someone who was brought up with parents/adults using slurs in everyday conversations, I tend to overcorrect

              No worries. It’s always good to do that, even if it’s not perfect. It’s an ongoing process for all of us.

      A tele-operated machine isn’t intelligent. That’s just a lot of motors and a fast network connection to some human in a room in the back. It’s a bit more involved but basically the same level of “intelligence” a RC car has.
