> We should not be so open-minded that our brains fall out, but we should also be very wary of repeating our old mistakes
Precisely, which is why it makes absolutely no sense to me to say that AI can't be granted a right to freedom.
I mean, what are you even arguing here? Do you not understand that this statement is in support of my position, not against?
> Sentience is the ability to feel. All that's needed for learning is the ability to perceive and have thoughts.
Highly debatable. You just made this up. These aren't the definition of anything. Once again, you need to bring something tangible to the table or people will call you crazy.
> therefore I see no reason to connect the two
Once again, this is your problem here. You're starting off, beginning, with an assumption that favors your stance. You can't do that, especially when said assumption has never, not even once, been true for all of human history.
Au contraire, I see no reason NOT to connect the two and you certainly haven't given any reasons why. These rights have always, only, applied to humans. I say we retain that status quo until someone gives something to show otherwise.
