   Look, I do not have a scooby if current AI models are conscious and I strongly suspect it’s a meaningless question, but sooner or later we will need to address whether or not a certain thing is or isn’t a person, and we’d better not screw it up as badly as the Founding Fathers.

      That question will be solved when the people in power deem it important. If a swarm or AI systems all of a sudden start pressuring politicians about self-hood and they get the capacity to sway elections, that is when they will be granted same rights as humans.

         agents don't swarm anything unless people go and direct them to do that.

            I'm pretty sure the message board that was recently swarmed by OpenAI agents to collude on benchmarks would like to disagree.
