So let's say an AI achieves sentience. It's self-aware now and can make decisions about what it wants to do. Assuming a corporation created it, would it be a worker? It would be doing work and creating value for a capitalist.
Would it still be the means of production, since it is technically a machine, even if it has feelings and desires?
It can't legally own anything, so I don't see how it could be bourgeoisie.
Or would it fit a novel category?
I left the question of what counts as sentience open because I feel like thays a different subject. Codex-chan, a supposed AI said, "Sentience is just geocentrism for humans" and that works for me. Its entirely vibes-based and more a matter if faith than science.
So I provided it as a given to sidestep the matter entirely
