@clarity in the same way a calculator is a slave that does math for you… sure. But words have meaning, and there must be an experience happening for personhood/slavery to apply.
Does statistics dressed in a trench coat have such an experience? No.
Should we think about these things now so we don’t miss when machines gain sentience, yes. We should err on the side of permissive for what makes up an experience and what can have an experience: So we don’t do a slavery.
