I don’t understand why we are spending so much time and energy pondering whether AI is conscious or sentient. The paper claims it has an impact on their moral status and welfare.

In reality, we already are surrounded by beings that we know to be conscious, sentiment, and experience pain, joy and feelings.

And we breed tens of billions of them into existence, torture, imprison, and kill them at a fraction of their lives for mere trivialities.

It’s just so weird that we are obsessing over the sentience and morality around article intelligence that may or may not be sentient, while brutally killing trillions of known sentient beings every year.
