> This saying: "Humans are not special" is completely true. To deny this idea is to deny the truth.
That's your truth. Humans get to decide what humans consider special. Your perspective is fair: humans are not special to you.
But they are certainly special to me and most other humans. That's my truth. That's not denying some objective truth, because "specialness" isn't an objective thing that can be measured. It's, effectively, an opinion.
You and I measure "specialness" differently.
But even if I agreed with you (and I could easily argue your side of this debate), it still wouldn't affect my attitude towards AI pretending to be human. Humans don't have to be special in some grand sense to consider that problematic.
