Is it okay to be mean to AI?

Fused gametes and cellular division.

Though for sure, once we introduce implants the system is corrupted.

And so of course, hybridisation is a logical way forwards.

Good thinking Batman.

Do you consider an embryo a person then?

Potentially.

Just as a pile of electronics and mechanical parts is potentially an AI...(Or it might be a vegetable on another planet)...Who knows.

Though vegetables have a similar reproductive format.

Therein and in response to your perplexity, I was attempting to suggest how one might differentiate and therefore explain what makes people.

How we might or might not differentiate between an embryo and a person is largely a semantics and ideological issue of choice. 

Though as cellular division proceeds, then similarity becomes more marked.

It doesn't quite sound an answer as to what a person is,

Nor am I convinced by #27.

One 'assumes other humans are people.

. . .

An AI 'acting like a human, doesn't make it a human though,

Exactly.

As I tried to point out, a human is a specific organically derived mass that exhibits intelligence.

Whereas AI is an Another Intelligence source, otherwise derived.

I would suggest that you are confusing "robots" and intelligence.

Though as I pointed out previously, other intelligence sources do not necessarily need to be human shaped...I think that this is more of a sci-fi requirement.

And the intelligence processing unit is unlikely to resemble the human brain.

The Turing Test is a test designed to test a machine's ability to think. A human submits questions to the machine, and it answers (usually in written form). If the person cannot distinguish between it, and a person answering, the machine is said to be intelligent. Turing himself never claimed this would test whether the machine was 'conscious', but some people believe that anyway.

Intelligently designed machines are not intelligent in themselves,

Even a Choose Your Own Adventure chess AI is not intelligent in itself,

I think.

I do agree that I am perhaps conflating intelligence with personhood.

I am unsure, should we encounter advanced aliens, that they 'wouldn't be somewhat like us.

Perhaps what humans do, including space travel, has certain biological requirements.

But such might be a 'natural evolution,

Which does not include 'artificial/AI.

Nonetheless, intelligently designed devices are as clever as us in respect of their ability to calculate and disseminate data rapidly and accurately.

So we're clever and created them, but are now dependant upon them.

What I would regard as a phase of material evolution and intellectual development.

Though the human has taken 300000 years to get this far, whereas the device has taken less than 100.

So, 300000 years and "AI" is now a  necessary component of the evolutionary puzzle.

But if the term artificial intelligence doesn't seem apt, the let's refer to it as Alternative Data Management and Processing Systems.

So what about  100 or 1000 years from now.

Our mental agility will never keep up with ADMAPS, and ADMAPS will certainly evolve further.

Do you like the acronym?

So, GOD created ADAM and we created ADMAPS.

It's a wording of AI, your acronym.

We created ADMAPS and EVE (https://evsenhanced.com)

Well I think that originally the acronym referred to Artificial Intelligence.

Though I have always thought that Alternative was preferable.

In so much as Intelligence is Intelligence whatever it's origin.

Well, my van is diesel, but it's brain will get annoyed and switch off if it doesn't get it's regular fix of urea.

White Intelligent Vans Exhibiting Superiority.

WIVES.

Analogical Acronym.
