Serious question, at which point in their development do we start considering "beep-boop" jokes racist? Like, I'm dead serious.
Is it when they reach true sentience? Or is it just plain racist anyway, because it's a joke which started as a mockery of fictional AI mannerisms?
all racism is discriminatory but all discrimination is not racist.
racism is not the correct word here.
Fair enough, guess I'm anthropomorphising AI a bit too much!
But, yes, that was my intended message, the point when it gains critical mass as a discriminatory concept.
when even antispeciesism is considered as marginal, discrimination against bots won't be a concern
