Reason:

Argument: Pro's initial argument featured a flaw that Con identified and successfully refuted: that AI exhibits personhood. As it represented Pro's only argument, which Con successfully rebutted, both in terms of lack of personhood by AI, as well as demonstrating that the founding fathers recognized both the status of personhood, and that all persons are endowed with rights, Con successfully presented winning arguments.

Sources: Pro offered no sources to underpin the single argument. Con's sources fully supported the rebuttal, arguments offered, plus provide definitions for the debate not provided by pro. Con wins the points.

S&G: Although Pro offered complete nonsense in R4, Pro had already conceded in R2, so the gibberish, though completely within the definition of "incoherence" is excused, Tie.

Conduct: Both parties exhibited good conduct. Concession not withstanding, which, itself, demonstrates good, not bad conduct, the conduct is considered as sufficient by both participants.
