Well, why does an AI even need to be sentient to be able to replace a human? Self-awareness is not a prerequisite for intelligence, it's just a strange little oddity that mammals happened to develop. There are already AIs that can beat the best human chess players, and the only thing they do is heuristics. Why can't that happen to all fields? So, if we have nonthinking machines that just run through some really complex algorithms to get results, why give them rights?
