Disappointing that the Guardian would turn to #TESCREAList (Google it) William MacAskill to write this speculative BS about AI and consciousness.
Could AI be conscious?

@jeffjarvis@mastodon.social Gemini says: Jeff Jarvis’s reaction points to a major point of friction in contemporary AI discourse: Distraction from Immediate Harms: Critics argue that debating whether a statistical language model has "feelings" or deserves rights diverts attention away from tangible, present-day issues like algorithmic bias, copyright infringement, energy consumption, and labor exploitation. #AI #consciousness
