So what do you call an ai rabbit hole?….. “The concept of corporate personhood is a legal doctrine that grants certain rights and responsibilities to corporations, similar to those held by natural persons.”
… so I go a little deeper

“A person is recognized as having certain rights and responsibilities from birth, whereas a corporations legal standing is derived from and defined by the laws under which it was formed.”
…. ok, maybe deeper

“The issue of campaign donations by corporations is significantly intertwined with the legal doctrine of corporate personhood, particularly in the context of the First Amendment guarantee of free speech.”
…and the deepyest yet ….
“A key element in the debate is the legal concept that spending money in political campaigns constitutes a form of free speech. The argument is that by donating to or spending money to support or oppose candidates or political ideas, corporations are expressing their views.”
