> It would be unethical if we force conscious begins to work for us.

Why? Couldn't you design the AI to derive some kind of pleasure from serving us?

Isn't it similar to how dogs have been bred to (apparently) enjoy hunting for us and guarding our property?




You are trying to justify one strand of unethical behaviour (how humans have bred dogs) with another. Not sure that holds up.


Can you unpack why you think breeding dogs - by which I take you to mean all dog breeding, not just the kind that leads to serious physiological issues such as breathing difficulties in pugs - is unethical?


>how humans have bred dogs [was unethical]

This is far from being a consensus, I think.


I'm not sure if I see this line of reasoning. Nature has countless symbionts, parasites etc, are those all unethical?


My ethical framework agrees with you, but ethics, like everything, are relative.
