I would maintain that from a long term operational viewpoint it
doesn't matter if the humans on the Supreme Court consider computers
to be people or not, the important thing is if computers consider
humans to be people or not.
Making certain probably reasonable assumptions, that is quite likely.
Only if we remember that money is a tool, and not a goal. If money is
the goal, machines will correctly conclude that humans are not
affordable: they need 02, plants, a very rich and complex environment,
etc. But with some luck we will be digital before, and get more
affordable in the machine's point of view.
To say that corporation are person is, imo, a rather big error. Only
machine having the Löbian ability can be considered as person, and
corporations are not.
