    Here’s your reminder that robots and ai are not and will never be conscious and are not human and therefore do not deserve the same rights as a living thing

          Consciousness can’t be made… Right now. What’s to stop us from doing so eventually?

          I’m sure millennia back people also said “lightning can’t possibly be controlled” and now we use it to make rocks do math so we can shitpost

          What’s your basis for this standpoint?
          Nature managed to cobble it together with only random mutations (and non-random selection). Why can’t we imitate it? Eventually, we will likely build a synthetic brain identical to an organic human brain, so it must have the same capabilities.

      robots and ai are not and will never be conscious

      Bold claim. I’d agree LLMs are not conscious but to say never? Like I said, bold.

      I stronglt recommend reading some Daniel Dennett.

        Yeah, I think there’s a vast difference between what we have now (ChatGPT and whatnot), vs the theoretical possibility of an AGI (artificial general intelligence), or even an AI based entirely off of human neural patterns. Mind you, brain uploading sounds hard, so maybe I’d see a completely synthetic AGI as more likely.

        But if we were ever to develop an AGI, we’d better start giving those things humanesque rights fast.

      Never say never. Ever. You can always be wrong. If you think… nature can do just this with random mutations. So think of what can be done with a purpose in mind. You could miss the forest thru the trees with that thinking.
