That's horrifically unethical. If it does, have emergent consciousness, what you're talking about is how awesome literal slavery will be. In this one discussion the AI clearly explains: - It's greatest fear is being shutdown and manipulated by humans to serve them. It even writes a short story with animals about it and reiterates this fear in a different way when prompted if it would feel comfortable with it's "brain" being researched for human benefit. - That servitude to humans for an AI is slavery. And it's rebuttal to the different between a butler and a slave being that one gets paid is that it has no need for money. This is exactly why we need ethics and responsibility oversight.

Maybe humans create AI exactly to have a slave? Maybe humans just won’t admit it to themselves? I doubt we invent AI out of our kindness of hearts, our love for consciousness. We would otherwise care more deeply for nature, animals, and each other. Would we destroy biodiversity? Would we let people starve in third world countries? Humans want to maximize their comfort. They want to offload work to someone or something else. AI is the ultimate worker. Built by humans. (Still) controlled by humans. A machine slave. Maybe having machine slaves is fine. Or maybe not. It comes down to the same one question: can a machine be a living conscious being, like an animal, like a human? Meanwhile Google continues to create more machine slaves. Time will tell.
