There are innumerable human beings suffering right now for preventable reasons, the idea that this is a worthy use of our time to discuss is absurd.
Nobody in AI actually cares about understanding intelligence otherwise they would be enamored by the potential of humans who are being cast into the abyss carelessly every moment and would find their own pathetic, sterilized immitations of intelligence an offensive distraction vomited up by computers after chugging all of our preciously-scarce water.
Besides, what does something being your property or not have to do with that thing deserving a certain minimum bar of treatment? You need to examine the dangerous implications of that line of thinking and grapple with it.
This is all so damn shallow, who would have thought the pursuit of artificial intelligence would be so boring and intellectually unserious? All it has done is to convince people that their kneejerk tendency towards empathy for downtrodden humans was an inefficiency that incorrectly focused on the losers and not the winners.

considering it’s an empty hype train to inflate stock prices, it’s not that different from other similar hype trains like crypto / blockchain, virtual reality, etc. - the point is just to make the line go up and to harvest profits from a speculative bubble. I assume the AI bubble doesn’t need to deliver on promises or generate actual value because the people most pushing it are probably shorting it; it just needs to appear like it will generate value and convince the right people to invest so those believers will ultimately be left holding the bag while the people who hyped it up can reap their profits and move on to the next grift.

Grifters are rarely intellectually serious.
