Questionable ethics - Living Memory

[Lady_Silvermoon]

This kind of thinking also makes me think about the actors' strike and their protections. What are we supposed to tell them? Oh sorry, this AI can take new dialogue and speak just like you. You'll need to forfeit all your rights and employment to this AI..sorry. it's not 1:1 because the argument doesn't hinge on sentience buuut.

Not the same at all. It's more akin to "this class of people are not people in the same way you are a person, so it's morally acceptable to do anything you want to them."

AI does not have sentience, but one day it might and we will have to decide how we will treat this creation that can feel fear, feel pain, desire freedom, strive for happiness.

And when that day comes, I hope we do better as a society than our characters did in Living Memory.

The Sundered are not a natural creation. They are the mutilated bits of another species. Given your view here, I have to wonder if you agree with Emet-Selch about the rejoinings. After all, Ancients are the natural evolution of humanity in the FF14 universe.
