You said: "I also think that the question of whether humans should give
rights to machines is moot, the question of whether machines will give
rights to humans is not." Why do you think the question of whether
machines will give rights to humans is an interesting question, if we can't
stop the creation of hyper-intelligent robots, and stand no chance of
controlling them once we do? If they do decide to give us rights, then
they will. If they don't, then they won't. We have no say in the matter
and not enough intelligence to predict what a hyper-intelligent being would
actually do. So why ISN'T this question moot?
