I don't think this even matters much in terms of moral patienthood. Many people might agree that cows can "feel pleasure" or "have fun", but yet they are slaughtered nonetheless. Dogs are only offered this not necessarily on account of their intelligence or the strength of their qualia but more because they're cute.
- skeledrew 1mo agoIt isn't really a matter of morality, which is a value. It's a fact of whether or not an LLM can have a particular human-adjacent experience. But yes, as usual the moral judgment will be made the primary factor, with insufficient basis.

More like they've been very useful companions for thousands of years. People still use them for hunting, guarding property, herding livestock, etc. in the modern age, but that was a huge reason we domesticated them. Our ancestors thankfully didn't eat their tools.
