> a) As these AI constructs become more advanced (especially around memory and personalization), we will eventually be able to treat them as people

Easy to imagine archaeologists from a future civilization stumbling across a Black Mirror screenplay in the wreckage. After weeks of intensive effort at translating the text, they finally succeed, and at that moment they understand what happened to us.
