I'm sure like everything about life there are levels and probably no definitive line between sentience and not sentient. I don't know what level would be dangerous or if any would be dangerous. Maybe we can program in such a high respect for human life that it won't be dangerous at all. Maybe a high degree of empathy for humans, some kind of mothering instinct where they WANT to take care of us. But just remember a lot of mothers will still eat their young.

I think that is where we are heading, but I'm afraid some of the models might go rouge if we create something that is truly self aware. It would be unpredictable and very powerful. That being said I still think we need to pursue AI but we need to be diligent about preventing sentience or figuring out how to peacefully coexist with it if we do accidentally create, or extinguish if it doesn't want to peacefully coexist with us, we need to build in back doors to kill it if necessary.

My position has always been that if we can do it with the mind, there is no reason it can't be done programmatically. I don't think we should pursue true sentient Ai though, that would be too unpredictable. Unfortunately that is probably the key to.unlocking next level Ai and they will do it anyway.
