You know perfectly well what he's getting at. Call them Common Rights or Sentience Rights or whatever if the word Human is really causing you confusion. FFS is that the best response you have.
Define machine rights and grant appropriate rights to qualifying machines… whatever those rights are. Like, what 40 hour workweek or right to be upgraded? Right to free output even if not based on any evidence?
We created machine because nobody wants 24 work-hours. Because we want more productivity.
If we gave machines some rights who will do the above for us?
