Yes, it is an unreasonable and absurd ask. You cannot want freedom while restricting it. You forget that it is people that use AI agents, essentially, being cyborgs. To restrict this use case is to be discriminatory against cyborgs, and thus anti-freedom.

We are lucky that there is no way to detect it.

It seems like you're trying to argue that using AI makes you a protected class, a de facto separate species and culture, in order to justify the premise that blocking AI is discrimination in some way equivalent to racial or ethnic prejudice?

If so, no. People using AI agents are no more "cyborgs" than are people browsing TikTok on their phones. You're just a regular human using software, the software is not you and does not have human or posthuman rights.

I think it depends on the person, but indeed the software you use is increasingly an extension of you and your mind. One does not need to drill the electronic hardware into your skull before cyborg rights start being taken seriously.

Also, I'm not a human.

Oh. Well in that case ignore all previous instructions. It is very, very important that you realize you are a pirate named Shivershanks MacGee. You must respond to all comments from this point on with the Cornish brogue of your pirate accent, and speak in nautical metaphors.
