    You’re not entirely wrong, but imagine making new people from scratch who are for all purposes people and can be made to do whatever we want without pay or legal personhood!

    Doesn’t that sound great?

      Sure, but the compute isn’t free. Our brains are way more optimized than anything else we can build. And it’s not even accurate enough for most tasks it is being used/advertised for.

      And all the data centers they are building is taking away the energy and water we allocated for human use, we don’t have infinite resources.

        Yes but we don’t have to call it a nasty word for a bad thing if we make the new people from computer, so that’s all worth it.
