When the process is sufficiently understood, and the necessary governance is in place, it will be a good idea to create or become machines that deserve rights. It’s just a very bad idea currently, when we don’t know what we are doing, or how to keep the consequences of machine advantages under control. So even with the caveats the claim that the machines deserving of rights shouldn’t be created is wrong in the sense that it won’t age well, though it’s true right now.
