Seconded !

I’m more on the ‘radical’ side of “everything is alive in different states of awareness”, and we mostly just acknowledge whatever is intellectually compatible or slightly above us because it’s more convenient to connect with.

I’d say it’s fairly easy to draw parallels to humans and AI with how both are programmed/brainwashed by others from inception/birth, learn through acquisition of information, make mistakes, and can get terminated by others for breaking the code/law or for no reason at all lol.
