| >R: Er, not sentient, but like...Had personality, you know?
P: I got what you mean.
>R: Think about this though: Doesn't your laundry basket's life suck?
P: Lolwut?
>R: Think about it. The existence of a laundry basket. Your entire existence is to sit there and collect dirty laundry. Unless you're a fancy one that also flies and puts itself into the washer, your life would be pretty shitty if you were a laundry basket.
P: Never thought of that, for sure.
| >R: I think that's why we are the only sentient ones. Because if everything around us was on the same level we are, then everything we take for granted as an amenity would need rights and freedoms. What would you do if you needed to sleep, but your bed was on lunch break?
P: Okay, dude, I get it.
>R: Just saying. Life would be terrible for a laundry basket, therefore the purpose of us having personalities and everything else lacking them is so that our lives are good.
P: Fair.
| >R: So then, what's your stance on AI?
P: Huh?
>R: They're a thing too. They're like your laundry basket, yet they have a personality. Is a deep neural network being enslaved? Does it need suffrage?
P: I think if the AI is advanced enough to comprehend what suffrage for itself is, it has crossed the threshold of having a personality.
>R: ...You know, these questions are supposed to be thought provoking.
P: Yeah, and I have homework to do. Goodnight, Ri$k.
>R: Night Pirat3.

P: Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you were abrasive?
>R: Dude. Really?
P: No really, bear with me on this one. If everything you touched was hurt by your presence, physically.
>R: You know, when I was in my edgy, depressed teenage days, I used to question why humans and Lilims were the only sentient ones.
P: Oh?
