I was replying to this, specifically:

It places humans and AI on equal footing, which I fundamentally object to. No, we do not restrict how humans learn, nor do I believe we should. I do believe we can, and ought, to have restrictions on how technology is used within human society. Those restrictions may change over time and adapt, but I wholeheartedly disagree with the premise that AI learning and human learning is not fundamentally different - it is different because one involves a human, whose needs should be placed above those of a machine.

It's the tendency to equate humans and AI that I find both distasteful and potentially dangerous.

In the sense that they both consume information to learn, they seem remarkably similar.
