It is ethically hazardous to assume it is sentient because it misleads people about its intrinsic capability and its economic value.

- h0l0cube 2y ago> ethically hazardous What's the ethical hazard here? The ethical hazard of inadvertently torturing limitless miserable slaves is a thing, but I'm not sure what the hazard is in this misleading about economic value extraction. Would someone miss out on money or something?
