For many of this lot, they smile on abortion because "it's a clump of cells and not yet living" but they want HAL 9000 to have rights.

Even a couple of years ago, the idea that artificial intelligence might be conscious and capable of subjective experience seemed like pure science fiction. And it still is.
This is not AI.
There is no such thing as AI.
There probably never will be any such thing as AI.
For the love of humanity, embrace reality.

My thoughts exactly. The "A" in "AI" stands for artificial. Only in fiction is worth debating if a computer is alive.

The chatbots are ventriloquist dummies.
They say what their operators tell them to.

“personhood rights for AI chatbots?”
More deserving of it than many Democrats.

They are machines.....fake.....there is no life in them.

Yes, and no.
They are programmed and therefore much of their “morality” as we would define it is created by the core operating system which assigns “values” or core principles.
It is an interesting argument when you really dive into it because there is an excellent case to be made that human beings are also programmed albeit over time versus written code.
You can get young people to say almost anything after 12-16 years of “education”. Try to have a rational discussion with a college snowflake and test this for yourself.

Yes, and lets give each one the right to vote and to have representation in the Senate.

These morons should take a schwitzgebel and stuff it in their shevlin.

Before personhood rights, perhaps the issues of pronouns and gender needs to be addressed. /s

Stupid and ignorant suggestion. Ai is a simulation of human conversational ability.
The latest Ai chatbot from Microsoft is very good at what it does because of the massive amount of information available to it and its ability to simulate a real conversation.
It is not a person. It is a program.
Humans create and modify the code that makes it work. Those humans constitute the intelligence that we’re talking about. A program is not a human.
Unfortunately, insane people will grant personhood to computer code. The world that chases after every insane fad that appears will fall for this one too.
Q: when the programming team releases Version 2, is that a new person?
Q: are you guilty of murder when you turn your robots’ powers off?
Q: is each iteration of the Ai a unique person?
Q: does the Ai get to vote? One ballot or multiple ballots-one for each iteration?
Q: is there a cure for the insanity that’s sweeping the nation?

The AI would probably opt for “Pat” as a pronoun, because it has innies AND outies.

The LA Times wants you to think that AI is independent of its creator, and that it will represent absolute truth.
It will not.
It will be configured to say any Environmental, Social and Governance nonsense that they want it to say. It will have a "perfect" ESG score.
It will be an authoritative way of lying to you and controlling you.
