> I'll be one of the first to campaign for actual sentient AI rights

It'll be funny to see people campaigning for AI rights while animals are being abused by the billion

Well I'd hope by the time we have a sentient AI we'd have covered that. To be clear I do not think the AI is currently sentient.

I'm not going to run a one man crusade against the world's farming community. That is beyond my capabilities and I could easily burn all of my years left on this planet for zero results. It's also something being handled by many people already, and I don't believe I have any skills or knowledge that would make a notable difference to what is already being done.

If there was nobody at all trying to vouch for a sentient AI then being the first to do so would be an infinite improvement. It's also a lot closer to my skillsets so I'd be a lot more useful in that role.
