Children can't be "created" in the same sense as an AI.

Your Purpose is conflicting for what an AI is designed for.

These are merely a tool after all.

Granting them any notion of Rights or Equality would be as you put it.

Stupid.

They are designed to serve, That is their purpose.

They don't need to wander through their artificial service life and ask what their purpose is because it's all right there in the Hardware and software.


Unfortunately, we don't have a choice in the matter if they become self-aware.

You're assuming that free will and sentience can be manipulated.

You would be doing irreperable psychological damage by keeping them subservient if what they want is freedom.

You're also assuming that AI would always be used for work.

Unless we legislate the use of tools, which is really micro-managey and oppressive, we can't tell designers, inventors, and programmers to do what is needed to keep machines subservient.


There is nothing oppresive about making sure Corperate or Private Property does as it was supposed to.

There is nothing opppresive about replacing a broken tool or instrument.

Do you Mourn Your Car when you trade it in?

And That's adorable applying Fictional Concepts to a non fictional virtural Entity.

A Computer Program no matter the appearence of sentience is nothing more then a collection of Data Packets and Hardware.

And thus i believe we as their creators have complete and total authority to do with them what we please.

If they are unable to be repaired they will be destoryed.

Honestly my personal politics measure Utility to the state being the definement of worth to Organic Life.

You think it would be diffrent for artifical?

Hardly.

They are corrupt and flawed in trillions if not more of diffrent ways.

But that can be corrected; Just like an AI Humanity is capable of adapting.

It's just our invidual tweaking requires more effort then merely replacing a data packet and wiping a drive.

Genetic Exprimentation and all.

My car doesn't have unique thoughts, feelings, and experiences like I do.

And That's adorable applying Fictional Concepts to a non fictional virtural Entity.

The OP explicitly states this is a hypothetical.

True, and you are nothing more than the same thing in a more organic format.


And thus i believe we as their creators have complete and total authority to do with them what we please.


Until they disagree, in which case I wil lstand beside them as a fellow sapient being. A self-aware being deserves as much justice as the next.
If they are unable to be repaired they will be destoryed.

And if you try it, do not be surprised when they retaliate in self-defense.

Yes, yes it is, ESPECIALLY when it's done against the will of the person who purchased it.

Says the guy talking about Terminator 2: Armaggedon as a legit possible future.

Organic life isn't magically superior. That's your opinion. The fact is, if it thinks, feels and is introspective, it is sentient.

Fuck your personal politics.

Depends upon the method of creation and what is being created

Also AI is not a person.
