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.

Why would an AI go insane from experiencing a day as a hundred years if that's their only experience of time?

Colorblind people don't go insane from being colorblind when they find out they are color blind.

True. When I found out I was partially colorblind I just assumed that explained what was wrong with everyone else.
