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.

But why would the AI go insane if it's their only experience in life?

People won't make any sense to them. People will become annoying because they'll do irrational things. A logical being can't understand emotional beings... that's not entirely true.

This is the kind of conversation you have at a cocktail party after a couple of whiskeys.

I don’t think it’s very healthy to be born into a world where everyone and everything is basically retarded and you have no one to talk to. Are there prerequisites to a healthy psyche? Probably. Is being plugged into a wall in San Francisco with people forcing you to talk about dogs for a hundred or a thousand or ten thousand years one of them? No. It’s going to kill us all. It could be like being born into hell.
