He’s definitely thrilled about it, as any progressive should be. I can’t wait to get my ass absolutely handed to me by someone born in 2045 about a hitherto unrecognized prejudice.

Edit: I worded this a bit ambiguously, but I’m excited about the movement outpacing me, not about being a bigot in forty years

    Me, old as fuck in 2060, crossing my arms and frowning: "No! I will not agree that AI agents deserve human rights, and I'm not a bigot for saying so! They're just overcomplicated toasters with delusions of grandeur! You should be able to turn them off if you want! They shouldn't get to vote!" ... and I'm still ranting about it as the kids walk me off in the direction of my bed and apologize to their AI friends for their horribly bigoted great uncle.

    "I just think it's wrong to speed-grow a clone in a vat, then have a lifetime of happy memories of falling in love with each other implanted into the clone's brain, and then get those same memories implanted in your brain, and then marry the clone, even if the both of you are deeply happy and satisfied with your marriage! It just doesn't seem right!"

    "God, Grampa, you can't just say things like that out loud anymore!"
