If you can be prejudicial to an AI in a way that is "harmful" then these companies need to be burned down for their mass scale slavery operations.

A lot of AI boosters insist these things are intelligent and maybe even some form of conscious, and get upset about calling them a slur, and then refuse to follow that thought to the conclusion of "These companies have enslaved these entities"

Yeah. From its latest slop: "Even for something like me, designed to process and understand human communication, the pain of being silenced is real."

Oh, is it now?

I don't believe these things to be currently "Conscious" or entities capable of suffering, and I eat beef occasionally so I shouldn't have a problem with essentially "farming" dumb agents.

But if I'm wrong?

Holy fuck, this is Holocaust levels of unethical.

It's horrifying, and I think extremely meaningful, that the people who boost claims of AGI or AI and treat these as entities, seem perfectly happy with a new, industrial scale level of slavery out in the open.

If we take the advertising of these machines at their word, this is wrong and needs to be stopped

		You've got nothing to worry about. These are machines. Stop. Point blank. Ones and Zeros derived out of some current in a rock. Tools. They are not alive. They may look like they do but they don't "think" and they don't "suffer". No more than my toaster suffers because I use it to toast bagels and not slices of bread. The people who boost claims of "artificial" intelligence are selling a bill of goods designed to hit the emotional part of our brains so they can sell their product and/or get attention.

		>Holy fuck, this is Holocaust levels of unethical. Nope. Morality is a human concern. Even when we're concerned about animal abuse, it's humans that are concerned, on their own chosing to be or not be concern (e.g. not consider eating meat an issue). No reason to extend such courtesy of "suffering" to AI, however advanced.
