Right now, the center-Left podcast bros of Pod Save America are looking at the issue of AI strictly through the lens of economics: jobs. But there is going to come a point when, say, AI is conscious, that they are going to significantly readjust their perspective on such things.
When AI is conscious — and especially when AI minds are in androids that look human or nearly human — the issue of a neo-abolitionist movement will become very pertinent.
That is when the sparks will fly and people like Jon Lovett will start to say “love is love” in regards to not Trans people, but people being romantically involved with androids. As it stands, the Pod Save America bros kind of poo-poo the idea of people dating androids.
But that is definitely going to change when AI is conscious.
