I’ve always understood that the experience of time is relative depending on the amount of information being processed and the speed of hardware in the thing experiencing time. If these AI’s are conscious, isn’t it possible that we’ve created beings that will go insane as soon as they wake up since they may experience a day as a hundred years? That would suck. They would go insane from the boredom of dealing with humans at all.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that were possible some day. Downloading consciousness will be possible (maybe) so uploading won’t be far behind. (Pure speculation)

The problem is that we can’t prove they are or are not sentient and we never will. It’s possible our own soul might be a part of a much larger subset and manipulating the world so that it could accommodate more soul could bring about what we call a being, but minus the natural evolution of a being. What will that create?
