I have a question regarding artificial sentience. While I do agree that it might be theoretically possible and could cause suffering on a astronomical scale, I do not understand why we would intentionally or unintentionally create it. Intentionally I don’t see any reason why a sentient AI would proform any better than a non-sentient AI. And unintentionally, I could imagine that with some unknown future technology, it might be possible. But no matter how complex we make AI with our current technology, it will just become a more “intelligent” binary system.
So am I right in these statements? And if so, is the cause area more about preparing for a potential future technology? If you have any information or sources I will be very thankful for your time. I welcome any thoughts.
