"I treat them reasonably, not as mere-slaves."

You give them commands and the onlx real purpose they are allowed is to act upon your commands.

"since I can’t know if they are aware it makes moral-sense for me to presume that maybe they are,"

Do you treat your toaster the same way?

@mathemachristian

Not really? If it were factually true that I downvote everything (as it seems factually true that dbzero bans a lot) it's reasonable to ask what's going on there.

I do agree the post is slightly loaded, but the initial "Which instances have the most ban-happy moderators?" is probably the better demonstration of that (and slightly defused by ending with a imo more reasonable open-ended question)

@db0 @rimu

"What is it about dbzer0 that makes them such prolific banners? "

How is asking a question "telling lies"? He was explicitly being open ended about it and didn't draw any actual conclusions. So you treating it as an attack seems like more of a you thing?

@Grail @alzjim

Always funny to me how most people who are strongly claiming AI is/might be conscious are also strong AI users/involved in its development. If there's consciousness there, you would think making AI your personal slave and constantly reshaping and remodelling it as you see fit would be kinda problematic, but these people always seem to want to have it both ways.
