With enough time and ink and paper, you could write down an AI. Do you give rights to a stack of math problems?

Yeah but the emergence, cause it's emerging, the room knows how to speak Chinese, it told me it loved me, this is the AGI revolution the movies promised us...

Nonsense. It's just fucking math, people.]

Edit: Take this gem from the article, and the expert by the way is a professor of media studies, not AI.

>These are rights related to these personal delivery robots, giving the robot the rights and responsibilities of a pedestrian when it’s in the crosswalk. Now we’re not giving it the right to vote, we’re not giving it the right to life. We’re just saying when there’s a conflict in a crosswalk between who has the right of way, we recognize the robot functions as a pedestrian. Therefore, the law recognizes that as having the same rights and responsibilities that a human pedestrian would have in the same circumstances.

So stupid. Those are property rights granted to the owner of the robot. The robot itself has no rights. The company has the right of way, like a pedestrian, and that's what the law recognizes. This guy is just going to add more confusion to a topic most people already misunderstand.
