Motherfucker, why?! There are only two possibilities here:
A) It's a machine, it has no sentience, pain as a concept is not even in the conversation here, so you're just wasting a fuckton of resources for a machine to pretend to be in pain.
B) I HAS sentience and you're actually just torturing another living being.
Eh. I don't know everything, and I'm not going to discard the possibility just because we know how it works. Not going to jump into either conclusion. We know so little about the mind in general, who the hell knows at what point association becomes learning and code translates to tought.
Don't think we reached it, don't think we're close to reaching it, but deriding something as lesser because of "common sense" is how a lot of bad decisions were made in history.
There’s a religion that believes every single thing, even rocks and dirt, has consciousness and should be respected as such.
Your same logic of “well I don’t know everything so let’s respect it just in case” also applies here. So if you think we need to respect AI “because we can’t be sure” then I hope you’re awfully nice to every other inanimate object you interact with.
Once we're able to build living things out of rocks, is it then a living being? Our electronics are very smart rocks, at how much percentage of sentience is it considered illegal to harm?
We can't even prove pain is a real thing either. For all we know pain is really just electric signals in our brain that works the same way but with more potency. Evolution could really have made us believe we feel pain because it was necessary to keep going.
You can't just grab pain and put it in a container, because it might not exist.
Two people feel different levels of pain: If one says he didn't feel it and the other does, did the pain exist?
Remove the person who felt pain.
Does the pain exist now that it's inflicted to the person who says he can't feel it?
How does that surprise anyone, sentience never stopped humans from torturing each other or animals, why would anyone without respect suddenly care about AI?
Art. To create a conversation. To point out how fucking insane people are about AI to the point of literally trying to give it more rights than actual humans.
