Re:Why create a conscious AI? (Score 1)

In this case, we would explicitly be placing these attributes into this being's personality for our own convenience. On the other hand, for whatever reason, we *evolved* to prefer the diet that we do - no one (apparently) guided our evolutionary path so that we would prefer to eat a particular diet.

Ergo, there's a real difference here. Is it ethical to engineer the consciousness of another being to serve our needs?
