I find this laughable. For centuries we have been enslaving our equals all around the world... and you are talking about giving freedom to AGI?

Why is this person downvoted? They raise a good point, albeit snarky lol

Given the atrocities that humanity has done, and is currently doing as we speak, I'm sure we're going down yet another road of atrocities.

We are all complicit in said atrocities btw, given that we willingly use devices that directly benefit from these happenings.

It's relatively "easy" to stomach cruelty at a distance. But AGI might become a very personal affair. I mentioned personal companionship, which illustrates this very well. People will get AGI agents as personal friends - and I expect them to get very good at this. I can see people championing human rights for their best friends.
