MODERATORS
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Are you saying you think dead people are people?
Most people show bias towards those they know personally. Family, friends, lovers, there's a type of connection that will make us value some people over complete strangers.
And when these loved ones pass away, treating their remains with the respect we had for them when they lived is our way of reconciling with their permanent departure.
So if someone were to trample upon those emotions and personal investment, the disrespect won't just be towards the people we knew, but also to ourselves.
That's one reason why dead people are people. Why living people are people. Why people are people. Empathy. Emotional damage. Elevated consciousness. Essentials of individualism. Etcetera.
Your idea that personhood is singularily defined by a physical body with a heartbeat is strange to say the least.
Not what they said, but nice strawman.
I'm trying to figure out what they said. If this is "digital slavery" then there must be a slave involved somewhere. Nobody seems to be able to tell me who or what exactly is supposed to be the slave here.
George Carlin is dead, you can't enslave a dead person. The AI was never a person to begin with. What's left?
So you're saying that this simple voice emulator is actually a person?
No. Good try tho.
Then who's being "enslaved"?
They bolded it for you.
No, they didn't.
I underlined the bolded bit since you've poor eyesight. I hope it helps.
That doesn't describe anyone being enslaved. It says to own a person is slavery, especially owning their labour. But no labour of his is being owned here. George himself did not say those lines.
It's okay you don't understand, that's fine.
Don't try to gaslight me in an attempt to avoid presenting a rebuttal.
They would need a coherent argument for that instead of just rambling about slavery
Like I said, don't worry about it. If you don't get it you don't get it.
Do you really expect this tactic to work out - denying the truth only a few comments beneath the evidence that you're lying?
It isn't a tactic, and I'm not lying about anything. I get you don't get what the dude was saying, maybe your first language isn't English. But again, that is fine. If you don't understand what he was saying that is fine.
This is getting fucking creepy now. It alkost seems like you actually believe what you're saying. But that would just be absurd.
Who's being enslaved, mate?
If you choose to throw personal insults that is your choice.
