It will be interesting whether we decide that AI that has conscious features is special like humans... or if we realize that our own consciousness isn't actually that special or precious after all.
- officialjunk 6y agoi think we will never actually be convinced we have created a conscious ai and continue to probe forever, possibly causing it suffering.
- chr1 6y agoPreciousness of a resource depends on it's availability. Consciousness is precious now because it is fragile and non-replicable. With AI it would be possible to copy any state and undo any change, so who cares if you create a copy of an AI and torture it, as long as you use your own computational resources, it's not any different than thinking. After all you may even not know wether you are torturing an ai, or doing arithmetics.
