[ExI] ai

[sjatkins]

A non-sentient fancy indexer, searcher and optimizer (what LLM is basically) is not a sentient, autonomous being with its own goals. Thus it does not possess the rights that such a sentient, autonomous being pursing its own goals and values by a process of reasoning, abstraction, prediction would have. When AI gets to that level it will be AGI and will have rights for the same reason we do.
