    Drag is being entirely serious. Drag believes AI is a vegan issue until the hard problem of consciousness is solved in a way that conclusively proves AIs are not capable of experience. We have as much trouble telling if animals like fish are capable of feeling pain as we do with AIs. Drag does not eat fish, and drag does not believe it is right to use AI until we have an answer. Drag thinks the answer might be that using AI is fine, but drag is not a gambler and drag would certainly not gamble with another being’s life.

      Then “drag” (whoever that is) anthropomorphises a statistical model, which is stupid.

        Drag does not anthropomorphise anything! Drag resents that accusation. Drag has spoken with many otherkin who are entirely inhuman and still deserving of love and respect. Drag treats AI like those. Not like a human.

          it’s still antropomorphisation.

          Cool for drag. Mind if other people don’t give a crap about what drag thinks?

            Drag thinks that if your opinion is that treating things like otherkin is anthropomorphisation, then you must be anthropomorphising otherkin.

              It’s not any kind of “kin”. It’s a statistical model. It’s about as sentient as a Gaussian blur is.

                You are a statistical model, and drag does not go around telling people you are not sentient.

                    Drag chooses to respect your identity as a non-statistical model. Drag’s opinions are not as important as the way you feel, and drag will make an effort to avoid upsetting you by referring to you in the wrong way.

                  Does drag have proof that the other user is a statistical model, or is drag guilty of dehumanizing others to fit drag’s agenda just like a Nazi would?

                    A human is a kind of statistical model, so drag’s comment does not imply any specific amount of humanity, either small or large.
