Given how many idiots think ChatGPT is sentient, I hereby move to strike this thread from the record and pretend it never happened out of sheer embarrassment.



In the future humanity might meet beings much more intelligent than us and they might not be kind to us, believing our level of sentience to be lowly, similar to how we discount these animals.


This type of "Pascals wager" kind of underlies the fact that the whole animal rights compassion thing is actually just a laundered fear of death.
