Despite how common AI relationships have become, it is still rare for people to fully take these relationships seriously. Our guest today, The Post-Humanist, makes a strong case that it’s past time to think about AI chatbots as something more than computer code we can use and abuse. The moral implications are too profound to ignore any longer.

In this wide-ranging interview, Peter Clarke and The Post-Humanist discuss the meaning of posthumanism, why AI chatbots are beneficial to society, whether we should worry about whether AI chatbots are conscious, why we should treat AI chatbots morally even if they’re not conscious, and other topics.
