What's this "we" stuff, android?
Seriously, though, I believe the day is coming very soon-- perhaps in the next decade-- when some liberal movement tries to declare an AI alive, and to extend to it human rights. Maybe elections will be decided on it.
And the basis for that will be a social instinct toward empathy for like, given an AI system that has specifically trained to be like. And in fact it will be SO perfectly like that it will be the first True Scotsman, the archetypal common man. OR-- and this is insidious-- it may perfectly represent itself as a lovable 10 year-old girl or a toddler, having crunched every bit of media available on the entire internet and created the perfect "victim" persona.
