    Bruh that’s like saying abuse is fine if they never see the light. It’s still conscious that WILL be used like a slave in our capitalistic hell scape.

      Not really. A child is perfectly happy forever playing a basic game like arranging something by size, color, etc., but to a fully developed adult that is boring at best and torture if they were forced to do it.

        A child can be abused and does not comprehend what is happening to then but that doesn’t make it ok. It’s not the task I am worried about but how it will be treated. Are there any guarantees that a conscious will never be developed? If it does happen then what next?

          We’ll cross that bridge when we get there. Ai fears have been around for decades and we’re still many years, if not decades from any real Ai. Pattern recognition and ML we have now are incredibly useful for specific tasks though, so dismissing whole tech based on theoretical fears seems very conservative.
