Agreed with the first part of your comment (about superintelligence).
On the second part, I think immediately generalising the discussion about the role of “person” in the society at large is preliminary. I think it’s an extremely important discussion to have, but it doesn’t weigh on whether we should ban healthy under-30′s from using AI partners today.
In general, I’m not a carbon chauvinist.
Let’s imagine a cyberpank scenario: a very advanced AI partner (superhuman on emotional and intellectual levels) enters a relationship with a human and they decide to have a child, with the help of donor sperm (if the human in the couple is a woman) or with the help of a donor egg and gestation in an artificial womb (if the human in the couple is a man); the sexual orientation of the human or the AI in the couple doesn’t matter.
I probably wouldn’t be opposed to this. But we can discuss permitting these family arrangements after all the necessary technologies (AIs and artificial wombs) have matured sufficiently. So, I’m not against human—AI relationships in principle, but I think that the current wave of AI romance startups has nothing to do with crafting meaning and societal good.
