To anyone reading these replies, I have a game for you: replace instances of "AI"/"LLMs"/etc with "other humans." Recall if a given argument has near-identical historical analogs to justify abusing The Out Group. Are the results disturbing?
Let's be clear: we're apes who don't understand our own minds. We have no consensus definitions, let alone falsifiable theories, of qualia/consciousness/intelligence/etc. Now ponder how informed we likely are regarding potentially completely alien minds. And hey, there might be genuinely excellent arguments here!
But be very, very careful with anyone's reasoning. Within 10 years, as the issue becomes unavoidable, the general public will be hashing these same arguments out, and along predictable party lines. Skip the shoddy takes. You'll get your fill of them later.

- scarmig 3y agoAlthough ethically I agree, I suspect future AI will consider us more like ants than moral beings, regardless of what we do. And although some humans do give moral consideration to ants (I do!), it's far from a guarantee.

- suoduandao3 3y agoThe fact you just assume you could kill a god is a pretty revealing commentary on Faustian culture.
