Analogy: Neanderthals debating whether they should tolerate newly arrived Homo Sapiens individuals. In the short term, it seems tolerating them wouldn’t hurt much, it may even be advantageous (they may have more advanced technology which Neanderthals could get via trade). But in the long run, Homo Sapiens would outcompete Neanderthals. Neanderthals shouldn’t tolerate them. Indeed, it’s probably (unfortunately) best to kill them while their number is still small.
Giving autonomous AI systems human equivalent rights is a moral hazard. There may be good short term reasons to do it, but in the long run, Natural Selection Favors AIs over Humans.
