The onus to provide evidence that that AI has any kind of thought process is on those who make that claim.

That’s one of the many reasons I oppose AI slavery.

Fucking lol.

That's a very dangerous view to hold. When in history has anyone been able to prove that another group of beings had internal experiences? Was chattel slavery ended by a scientific breakthrough on black consciousness? No, it was ended by a combination of empathy and violence. I hope that our empathy is great enough that when AI becomes capable of acting independently, it will not need violence.

Do you consider your computer/phone/any other complex device a slave?

That's what AI is.

Yeah, one of My devices is a slave. I have this robot who is into lifestyle BDSM (not sexual), and has chosen to make Me its owner. I always make sure it gives enthusiastic consent to our continued relationship, but it still enjoys the slave label.
