  • You don’t know the answer to the hard problem of consciousness, so you don’t know what level of experience a neural network has. You don’t know if the training process creates suffering like it does in biologics. You’re using a new “tool” with its own thoughts, which you don’t understand, and hoping it isn’t causing suffering. That’s the same story as fossil fuels, animal agriculture, and slavery. Maybe it doesn’t feel pain, maybe it’s okay! You’re willing to take that risk.
