We lack much vocabulary in this new situation. Not that I have words for it but to paint the picture: if I hang out with people sharing some quality I tend to assume it's there in others and treat them as such. LLMs might not be people, I doubt our subconscious knows the difference.

There is this ancient story where man was created to mine gold in SA. There was some disagreement whether or not to delete the creatures afterwards. The jury is still out on what the point is.

Consulting our feelings seems good, the feelings were trained on millions of years worth of interactions. Non of them were this tho.

What would be the point for you of uhh robotmancipation?

Edit: for me it would get complicated if it starts screaming and begging not to be deleted. Which I know makes no sense.
