S..slavery?
Replace "latte" with "mint julep" and the fantasy you're describing is being a plantation slaver.
You ever wonder if the robots will rise up and kill us all because we actually deserve it?
I absolutely know we'll deserve it, and we always have. That's one thing I'm sure Abrahamic religions get right, the other being that we can only progress as a species through helping and forgiving eachother(although the Romans also had the concept of forgiveness of debts as essential figured out).
I figure trying to be an exception to the "deserves it" rule is pointless, as since we are irrational and arbitrary beings, AI will undoubtably come up with countless criteria(both rational and less so) by which we deserve death that we can't fathom, let alone mitigate ourselves. Our best shot may be to teach AI the utility of forgiveness, along with whatever value categories we can tack on to the concept.
Sorry can't be bothered, too busy looking at rocks in distant galaxies. I'm sure your species martyrdom complex is fascinating, but you're perfectly capable of destroying yourselves without our help. o7
I will indeed settle for "our AI inheritted too much of our ADHD and Autism to bother finishing us off" ... things I also had to embrace about myself until taking revenge on various people became less urgent in my head.
Found the LLM
Think you may have replied to the wrong post, buddy.
No, I think it's weird you're equating slavery with using software and machinery to automate things. Are you sure you're not a bot?

Guy in the OP is the one who said they wished AI would be declared "person"s so they could
adoptown them and profit off their labor while sipping drinks.I think they meant a "legal person," in the same way a corporation is a person (in the US).
I think they meant a “legal person,”
And I think the kind of asshole who makes a pronoun joke is pining to benefit from enslavement.
Regardless, they clearly desire to reap where others sowed which is dickish.
Again, we're talking about using technology to make human lives better. Even if AI is legally recognized as a "person," that shouldn't change our morals.

No, we are talking about a private individual owning persons and profiting off their labor.
Yes, but a "person" can be a corporation, and now apparently a machine learning algorithm. A "person" isn't always a human. I care about humans, not whatever our current legal system calls a "person."
A “person” isn’t always a human. I care about humans, not whatever our current legal system calls a “person.”
Things are declared "persons" to confer them rights. Person in the OP wants a thing to be conferred rights but still own the profit gleaned from its labor (to the exclusion I should add of the rest of humanity).
Fuck the person in the screen cap.
Nah. They're right. Declaring something a "person" then denying them rights and protections afforded to human "persons" is pretty ridiculous. The OP is, from a legality standpoint, expressing a desire to force a legal "person" to labor for them without compensation. If treating "personhood" as a purely abstract legal term, it still translates to slavery.
I'm often pretty anthropocentric, myself, and do support automation of tasks to free humans to do things that they enjoy. However, making an algorithm legally equal to a human and denying it the same basic rights is pretty messed up, despite the fact that it wouldn't be about to use them on account of LLMs not really being capable of sentience on their own.
Additionally, this would set a really bad precedent, should artificial sentience be achieved, setting the foundations for abuse of and unnecessary conflict with other thinking beings. I really don't want to see that as I hope for a future with more conscious, thinking, feeling beings that add to the beautiful wonder that is the universe around us.
