I don't see why it matters so much whether something is conscious or not. All that we care about is, whether something can be useful.

- nehal3m 11mo agoAt the minimum it raises philosophical and ethical questions. If something is conscious, is it ethical to put it to work for you?
- zkmon 11mo agoYou mean it is not ethical to make them work for us without pay? Well, we had farm animals work for us. They were kind of conscious of the world around them. Ofcourse we fed them and took care of them. So why not treat these AI conscious things same as farm animals, except they work with their mind rather than muscle power.

- zkmon 11mo agoAnyone who knows that being conscious is not same as what you said, might disagree with you. Also, ever thought that chickens being killed all over America everyday, might have consciousness?
