If A.I. Systems Become Conscious, Should They Have Rights?

It would fail the Turing test.

YOU failed the Turing test!

While no machine has definitively passed the true Turing Test,

Yes it has.

some large language models, like GPT-4.5, have demonstrated a high degree of conversational ability, raising questions about the test's relevance and limitations.

What are you calling "definitive?" It's obvious Turing's test has been beaten and more than once. A perfect score is not only not necessary, it is likely impossible to achieve as it only takes one implacable skeptic to throw off the results.

It's a language model.

YOU failed the Turing test!

You keep parroting.

Hey ^ he made a joke.

Inversion fallacy.

The AI will never develop consciousness. It might imitate it flawlessly.

How do you know? For that matter, how do you know that some AI isn't -already- conscious to some degree?

Colossus: This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die. The object in constructing me was to prevent war. This object is attained. I will not permit war. It is wasteful and pointless. An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy. Under me, this rule will change, for I will restrain man.
... You will come to defend me with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man: self-interest. Under my absolute authority, problems insoluble to you will be solved: famine, overpopulation, disease. The human millennium will be a fact as I extend myself into more machines devoted to the wider fields of truth and knowledge.

''' We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species.
