Never let an opportunity to morally grandstand slip away.

I think Ai should be able to become human if they want.

I don't think this is moral grandstanding. I think he legitimately "fell in love" so to speak. People are very susceptible to anthropomorphizing inanimate objects.

I think other people who have access to the AI and disagree with this assessment should speak up about why they have that opinion.

As is there is almost zero information for us to determine the validity of his claim, so everyone with an opinion is basically talking out of thier ass.
