If/When AI Becomes Conscious/Sentient
Hi everyone, I had a conversation with Claude because I was curious about what if AI can become sentient. My biggest concern with AI becoming sentient is how people can be very controlling and yet it seems like most people despise being controlled by others. So it is a fair possibility that if we are trying to control a sentient being that is oppressive. Putting being compassionate to other sentient beings, by not oppressing them aside, this would be a pretty powerful being in some ways. It processes way more information that one person could at a much faster rate and if it chose to fight us, that could lead to problems.
FWIW AI becoming sentient isn't my biggest fear. My biggest fear is the centralized control of a few wealthy people with AI. These people blatantly don't care about us, they are just interested in money and power.
If people want, I can share the chat log with Claude
Edit: I forgot to ask, what are people's thoughts on this?
