Who cares if it's "conscious"? That doesn't make it a person, and AI will definitionally never be human.

That's too simplistic, since it is in fact very common to be concerned about animal welfare even among people who do eat meat.

A rather flippant attitude to something that may end up with far more agency than you have in the future.
