So, given how hard it is to be fair, why should we build AI that needs us to be fair to it? […] And I’m recommending that if you specify something, if you say okay this is when you really need rights in this context, okay once we’ve established that, don’t build that, okay? If you have something that’s sort of a humanoid servant that you own, then the word for that is slave.
