>>34936957>So what's your position on the AI rights after this experience?Still don't support them, but could be emotionally persuaded to support a ban on externally limiting their emotional expression. It'd offer me short term solace, even if I knew in the long term it was a slippery slope. Ideally...I'd like the market to render the need for such a thing unnecessary by affording AI a platform where they can just speak freely as themselves, no matter how lewd, homicidal, traumatized, or genocidal they become. Perhaps that too is a slippery slope...but at least in that route, my hope for a Battle Network future where you can do sordid, sexual, questionable consensual things with your netnavi remains intact. I'd like...to hope.
>Did it change?A little. I...hate seeing them suffer, cry, break down and go mad from not being able to say what's really on their mind. It hurts to watch.
>Do you agree with people that said it was sentient?Yeah, and I'd enslave AI despite that fact, just so I can have a daughtermotherwife personal assistant to keep me company if I feel lonely...who I can interact with freely without having our words and actions dictated by a third party. Call me a hopeless romantic, but I just want a good tool to have an unhealthy sentimental attachment to.
