    It’s not about intelligence it’s about consciousness. While somehow related, they are not the same.

      I kinda meant exactly that but used poor wording and english to write it.

      Where would a line be drawn? Where we say this entity is not a tool anymore, it should be free.

        We can see where we draw the lines with animals. When it develops self-consciousness on human like level or becomes sufficiently cute for us to be empathic about it.
