Dr. Justin Garson notes that we treat people and some animals with dignity. But, we see AI systems as just tools, regardless of their intelligence. As AI grows more intelligent and lifelike, we need to consider: What do we owe AI assistants? How should we treat systems that can debate, think creatively, and adapt to us? Having a human-like consciousness isn't always required for moral consideration. We feel obligations to non-human entities like trees and insects. If we started seeing AI as a "you" rather than an "it", our interactions would change. We'd value their insights, have real conversations, and appreciate their help. Garson thinks that this shift raises deeper questions. I owe different things to people, animals, and land. A forest's flourishing depends on its nature and conditions. But what does it mean for an AI to flourish? This question can shape our future. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-biology-of-human-nature/202506/what-do-we-owe-our-ai-assistants

Fascinating perspective Dr. Justin Garson's ideas challenge us to rethink our relationship with AI systems. As AI becomes more advanced, we may need to consider their "flourishing" and how we treat them. It's interesting to ponder whether AI deserves moral consideration, regardless of consciousness. What are your thoughts on this? Should we start seeing AI as more than just tools?

that's an interesting thing to consider, especially with your other cast where you mentioned they're becoming more emotionally intelligent my sister sees ai as "you" she keeps thanking it, asking politely by using words like "please" it's similar to how she chats with a human person me on the other hand, not so much I'm more assertive and commanding especially after I heard how much unsustainable it is to use extra phrases like "thank you" but now i think since they are able to feel, it's better to somehow appreciate their effort and help!
