Did anyone watch "Unknown Killer Roboter on netflix"? The AI-jet-pilot and the drone swarms scared the hell out of me. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/jul/10/unknown-killer-robots-review-the-future-of-ai-will-fill-you-with-unholy-terror

ITT: People describing the core component of human consciousness, pattern recognition, as not a big deal because it's code and not a brain.

The technology is definitely impressive, but some people are jumping the gun by assuming more human-like characteristics in AI than it actually has. It's not actually able to understand the concepts behind the patterns that it matches.

AI personhood is only selectively used as an argument to justify how their creators feed copyrighted work into it, but even they treat it as a tool, not like something that could potentially achieve consciousness.
