Let's be clear on where the responsibility belongs, here. LLMs are neither alive nor sapient. They themselves have no more "rights" than a toaster. The question is whether the humans training the AIs have the right to feed them such-and-such data.

The real problem is the way these systems are being anthropomorphized. Keep your attention firmly on the man behind the curtain.

You know, I think ChatGPT is way ahead of a toaster. Maybe it's more like a small animal of some kind.

One could equally claim that the toaster was ahead, because it does something useful in the physical world. Hmm. Is a robot dog more alive than a Tamagotchi?
