> The belief that elevating a machine or information to humanity is the reduction of some people's humanity or of humanity as a whole, is entirely your issue.

It's not just my issue, it's all of our issue. As you yourself alluded to in your comment implying the Holocaust above, humans don't need much of a reason to diminish the humanity of other humans, even without the presence of AIs that marvelously exhibit aspects of human intelligence.

As an example, we're not far from some arguing against the existence of a great many people because an AI can objectively do their jobs better. In the short term, many of those people might be seen as a cost rather than people who should benefit from the time and leisure that offloading work to an AI enables.
