"ROBOTS AND HUMAN RIGHTS"

“There are fictional books which mention of a setting which consists of landscrapers, humans and robots where it claims that that these robots have citizenship with ‘legal rights’. Whilst many books emphasizes the focus of the philosophical view towards consciousness and emotions, the lesser discussed topics is the government claiming that robots have ‘rights’.”

“As you find the claim that robots having ‘rights’ as absurd, scientists and figures such as Elon Musk insist that artificial intelligence is ‘conscious’. Whilst there is some speculation of what pushes them towards these positions. The question is that what if they wanted to ‘justify’ their claim that robots have ‘rights’ according to liberalism?”

“This is somewhat different from the legal positivist’s approach which an approach associated with hobbesian theory. This involves them accepting whatever declarations uttered by the government of the nation-state. What they prefer is that they want the word ‘robot’ and the word ‘human’ to become ‘interchangable’ where the government of the nation-state declares that the robot has the same rights as the human.”

“It is not unexpected of some of these roboticians who are similar to post-modernists where they wish to blur the lines between reality and false tales where the post-modernists want to distort language with the usage of pro-nouns whilst some of these roboticians want to convince you that a static object has conscientiousness.”

“Their desire of blurring the line is their attempt in ‘normalising robot rights’. But the question arises is that what does the liberal believe about the human being and what does he believe are rights?”

“Contrary to the views of others, the early liberals did not consider themselves as atheistic. John Locke himself opposed atheists where he viewed that they weren’t trustworthy in abiding by contracts. The early liberals believed that humans were endowed with rights by God. They believed that the state should protect these rights. They didn’t believe that the state endows human with rights which is contrary to the view of westerners today where they believe that the government can create rights. The current westerner’s view aligns with the view of the ‘legal positivists’.”

“The liberals themselves valued the human intellect. The so-called ‘enlightenment period’ was centered around the emphasis of the intellect. They saw the intellect as the main difference between the human and the animal.”

“In the current post-modern era where the human intellect is mocked by proponents of AI alongside some of the masses emphasizing their subjective experience over objective facts that are ascertained by the human intellect which is a consequence of social media algorithms that was coded by people who believe that data is more valuable than subjective experiences. Some of these people have claimed that artificial intelligence has obtained ‘conscientiousness’. They claimed this after the introduction of chatgpt when they were shown an illusion of ‘thinking’. This illusion of thinking which some people view as an objective fact according to their subjective experiences is propagated by some of these roboticians where they believe in the blurring of the lines between a human and a robot.”

“A robotician claiming that a robot can become a human is similar to a feminist claiming that a man can become a woman.”

“The robotician wants to propagate this illusion of thinking where he wants to classify the robot as a ‘human’ in accordance with the ideologies of modernity that emphasizes that the intellect is the defining feature of the human that separates the human from animals. It does need to be understood the extent of which liberals differentiate humans from other animals on the basis of the human intellect when liberals classified black people as monkeys when they wanted a liberal understanding of enslaving black people.”

“Now these roboticians has deluded some of the masses that AI is ‘thinking’, they now want to insert that AI software into a mechanical android body that ‘looks’ like a ‘human’ and ‘feels’ like a ‘human’ in their attempt of ‘normalising robot rights’.”
