If it’s true AI we’re then they will need to be granted full rights as sentient beings.

Less than that then we’re talking simply about really clever coding.

Iain M Banks Culture series is probably the most accessible way of understanding true AI as it could present itself in the real, which in reality is practically impossible to achieve with our current level of technology.

Quite an expectation that humans will become smart enough to actually create a true AI, we’re certainly not even close by any margin.

It’s amusing that we use the term AI on all sorts of gadgets and clever software these days, proving that most people don’t understand what it actually is.

Won’t let Alexa or Google listen to anything in the house, but fully contradict myself using Siri mostly for directions and calling people without unlocking the phone.
