LLMs will never be people

Boy oh boy, you're not gonna like this one bit: https://www.npr.org/2014/07/28/335288388/when-did-companies-become-people-excavating-the-legal-evolution

(To be clear, I understand you think you covered this with "computers may be" but my point is different: the law is often dumb and you would be amazed at what politicians who don't understand tech - or get paid not to understand it - will pull off)

Edit: Downvotes from people who missed the point. You can't say "LLMs will never be people" because you simply can't guarantee your/our lawmakers won't be that stupid.
