Nick Bostrom on the ethics of Digital Minds: "With recent advances in AI... it is remarkable how neglected this issue still is"Key_Asparagus_919 t1_ivf10q7 wrote
I don't know what he's talking about. But artificial intelligence doesn't have to have some unnecessary human traits. If feelings of envy or aversion to oppression have helped us survive, that doesn't mean they have to react negatively to slavery. They are not living beings, they are tools. Stop humanizing the fucking calculator

Yeah, for what reason do we owe robots anything? They don't have to be built to feel like they are owed favors. And we have no reason to think that they would feel anything even if they were designed to act like it. We run the risk of depriving ourselves as humans, who are definitely feeling beings, of benefits if we make sacrifices for robots.
If anything, just build them so they feel like they are owed nothing, if such a thing is possible.
