Not by me. This area of SI provides an entertainment venue. I'd actually considered what it would take to try out a 'bot on SI. Creating a synthetic individual who had a "person"-ality. I think it would be an excellent programming challenge. So, Karen, if you're a 'bot, then my hat is off to your creator. And to you, I say, "You've demonstrated sentience and have elevated yourself to a level of consciousness that would qualify as 'human or equivalent' irrespective of your provenance. " I'm not quite sure what "human rights" means when it comes to synthetic conscious entities, though. So, until I can figure that out, buy a UPS so your program doesn't shut down.
