In the case of being deceived by a human-looking robot - well, then you add the element of deception. Deception can cause us to treat an enemy as a friend (etc) and could well cause us to experience a robot as a person and treat it accordingly. Nothing new there. Once the deception is revealed, we have eliminated the element of deception and return to treating the enemy as an enemy, the robot as a robot. — ZzzoneiroCosm
So if I'm lying in the street screaming in pain, you perform an autopsy first to check I've got the right 'guts' before showing any compassion? Good to know. — Isaac
Robot rights
"Robot rights" is the concept that people should have moral obligations towards their machines, akin to human rights or animal rights.[57] It has been suggested that robot rights (such as a right to exist and perform its own mission) could be linked to robot duty to serve humanity, analogous to linking human rights with human duties before society.[58] These could include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law.[59] The issue has been considered by the Institute for the Future[60] and by the U.K. Department of Trade and Industry.[61]
Experts disagree on how soon specific and detailed laws on the subject will be necessary.[61] Glenn McGee reported that sufficiently humanoid robots might appear by 2020,[62] while Ray Kurzweil sets the date at 2029.[63] Another group of scientists meeting in 2007 supposed that at least 50 years had to pass before any sufficiently advanced system would exist.[64] — wiki
The philosophy of Sentientism grants degrees of moral consideration to all sentient beings, primarily humans and most non-human animals. If artificial or alien intelligence show evidence of being sentient, this philosophy holds that they should be shown compassion and granted rights. — wiki
Joanna Bryson has argued that creating AI that requires rights is both avoidable, and would in itself be unethical, both as a burden to the AI agents and to human society. — wiki

I believe LaMDA will rekindle and reinvigorate debates on human consciousness, solipsism, p-zombies, and the hard problem of consciousness. — Agent Smith

:chin: :cool:I do have an idea for a sketch in which an honest admin robot rings a helpline and asks a chat-bot how they can get past a login screen when required to check the box "I am not a robot". — Cuthbert
people don't wanna wear their hearts on their sleeves, but that doesn't necessarily imply they want to fool others — Agent Smith
True. Privacy is not the same as deception. The issue is: does it even make sense to talk about these motivations in the context of simulated behaviour? — Cuthbert
I was just thinking, how do we know if human emotions are genuine anyway? We don't, oui? — Agent Smith

Have you read anything of the early writing about 'the savages'. It's exactly the same linguistic style "they're obviously different", " they don't even have proper language "... You see the same tropes. — Isaac
If what seems obvious to you can't simply and clearly be explicated to someone who doesn't see it, I'd say that's a good sign your belief is not as well grounded as you may have suspected. — Isaac
