A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Animals on this planet exhibit intelligent behavior.
No then.
Unfortunately probably not. It's an interesting philosophical question. What is the metric by which we grant personhood and by extension negative rights (life, liberty, autonomy) to a being?
It can't be intellect, because that would exclude edge case humans with cognitive impairments.
I think sentience is a good metric, but most disagree because the logical conclusion is that we should extend these rights to animals.
If it's just the fact that we're human, then this would automatically exclude sentient AI and the above referenced alien species.
