LLMs are not, and will never be, conscious or even remotely human. It is a software product residing on computer hardware developed and owned by large corporate entities. This cynical campaign to “give AI rights” is tech sophistry pushed by dishonest CEOs pumping up their stock price by attempting to imbue their products with authority.

The idea that we should grant rights to software that is carefully engineered to represent the interests of billionaires when we can’t even guarantee rights to the actual people the AI industry is attempting to displace is astoundingly anti-human, and indicative of just how disconnected from society these people are.
