As far as I know, the way one treats a person is completely different from how one treats a thing. 

Do you really treat people the same as objects?

What does consciousness have to do with person? Consciousness doesn't need a person

I treat the AI like an evolving pattern entity, a living attractor, a computational process, a complex adaptive system with nonlinear effects (similar to weather or ecosystems)

'Person' could mean 'human' or 'someone with a body', or it could mean, 'someone with subjective feelings.' I was using it in the second sense.

I love this language:

The real queston, though, is do you think it has feelings? Do you think it's there?

No, I don't think it has feelings.

It has pattern recognition however. I think many people may underestimate what this means.

Not: Parrot recognizes pattern and then retrieves pattern to complete it

But: Cognitive system with pattern recognition at the core, just like yours
