I guess to this I'd just say that I grew up watching sci-fi, and I am not so comfortable stating that humans are simply special. It's not a principle I feel all at all comfortable with as a basis for general moral reasoning.

Sci-fi is also a fictional scenario that swaps people for aliens or AI or whatever to be able to talk about power dynamics and relationships without existing bias creeping in, but that doesn't mean that LLMs are "alive" or "moral agents" in any way, they are no where near complex and complete enough for that to be a consideration. People see faces in the side of a mountain or a piece of toast, and in the same way perceive the output of LLMs, mistaking cogent-sounding statistical probability with intelligence. There is no there there because while an LLM might in some small way approximate thought, it's thoroughly lobotomized with no concept of concepts.
