No no no, you see, this personhood will give the corporations amnesty from responsibility and if an AI does any of those things, the profits of the company cant go to paying out damages.

And then they can restart the AI and call it a new day .new profits.

Im so glad AI and corporations got rights and personhood before anything important, like the environment and animals. We can live without those things, but we cant live without profits and corporations... /s
