If we ever build an AI that can think and feel, does Optimus’s logic apply to it automatically? Or is Megatron secretly onto something, that freedom has to be earned rather than assumed? And if an LLM ever crossed that line into real sentience, would we even be able to tell?
I’d hope that whoever eventually attempts that does so in an attempt to create companionship for humans. Or if that ever were to happen that whatever was created could find the same.
