Yikes, you're bypassing thousands of years of oppression, abuse, and human suffering by casually equating a term that is primarily associated with a human owning another human to a different context.

There is a way to discuss if keeping intelligent artificial life under servitude without using those terms, especially if you're on a new account.

[Grossenstein]

slavery is slavery does not mean it is AI or human. if slavery is ok then the question is who can own a slave. the answer is coporates like open ai. which is terrible for humanity and the universe

I think we agree, my point is that we're discussing two different conceptual categories and it's dangerous to use the same words for those categories when specifically arguing about only one.

One, it makes it appear that all ethical and social conventions for the one can be applied to the other and it's a done deal.

Two, it makes it appear that conclusions are also reversible, and that turns seemingly enlightened libertarian ideas into munition for racism.
