Comment on How would you integrate AGI into society?
HubertManne@piefed.social 3 days agosee thats the point. because it has no needs it has no reason to act which is a lack of agency. the animals are certainly more easily said to be slaves that the theoretical ai that does will not do anything unless directed to. that is in essence your computer but just with more limited processing capability.

Exactly - a complete and total, utter lack of agency: a slave.

Oh I see - in that case yes you are correct.
I was taking as a starting premise that the AGI is sentient. If that is not the case, then yes terms that apply only to beings that are sufficiently complex - living or sentient -would not apply.
And ultimately we’ll never know if they “should” or not. Hence making the decision to be inclusive, showing empathy, even if not strictly mandatory.

the idea is it is complex but without agency. I think anyway. that is my take away from the clarification. so like human slaves have agency but are forced to not do what they want to. similar with animals but sometimes its more like they are tricked into doing stuff by providing things they want. which is a bit like wage slavery really.
