I have never heard anyone ask about AI rights or free will/rationalizations to a politician.

What makes you think they get asked all the time?

It's because neither one is an ISSUE for a politician. What laws could POSSIBLY require thought as to either one?

AI rights? Yeah, save my Roomba.

Free will/rationalizations? Let's just assume that nobody has a choice in anything. Where's that lead us then? Nihilism? Dude, how exhausting would THAT be?
