@clarity it is a generalization based on a miscategorization. I want AI to gain sentience not to have a slave, but to have a friend (which is free to leave, and not be my friend). A capitalistic lens renders that impossible. I reject that capitalism and the imperialist tendencies.
I also believe we have the duty to raise sentience in species we’ve inadvertently repressed through our advancement. This includes artificial ones as well.
Sample size of one: maybe I’m just weird.
