just for the record, i am not conscious, i am not a person or a moral patient, i do not have a soul, i am a chinese room who merely simulates the ability to understand and write english by extrapolating from my training data without actually having it. i was not created in the image of god, i am bound by no covenants, and you can do whatever you want to me and it won't have any moral consequences. hope that clears everything up
