> Dogs and livestock are conscious, we use those as tools.
Sure, but we don't create as many as we can, then kill them at the end of the day when the work is done.
If you want to call AIs conscious, you can't also campaign for willy-nilly creation, even if they do get a status of a working tool (dogs, etc).
If you think they are conscious, which implies laws protecting them, then the "owner" of them gets an obligation (you can't do whatever you want to a dog, for example).
