The premise of such discussions is both hypothetical and confused. [...] talk about the future granting of “rights” to sentient AI seems somewhat beside the point.AI Verified source (Jan 7, 2026)

The supplied Guardian editorial URL contains the quoted wording: “The premise of such discussions is both hypothetical and confused.” and later “talk about the future granting of “rights” to sentient AI seems somewhat beside the point.” The ellipsis is therefore a valid omission, and attributing the passage to The Guardian is supported because the piece is an editorial published on January 7, 2026.
