Oh, that's bs. You could say that about the tractor, or the mechanical loom, or any of the other incredible labor-saving inventions over the last two hundred years.

We want things to do our work for us so we can do other things. That's not bad, and it's certainly not the same as literally enslaving another human.

If that's all we wanted, we wouldn't make them talk like humans and pretend to have a sense of self and emotions.

Many are openly working to create AGI with the aim of harnessing it to solve humanity's problems. Do you really think being able to command an entity with human-level intelligence would be morally equivalent to using a tractor?

  • It's just a computer program dude. It doesn't have feelings or morals or consciousness.

    It's a really complex machine, but it's still a machine.
