    Arguably the point of having machines do the work for us is that they’re NOT sentient.

      Potentially. Since we don’t know how any of it works because it doesn’t exist, it’s entirely possible that intelligence requires sentience in order to be recognizable as what we would mean by “intelligence”.

      If the AI considered the work trivial, or it could do it faster or more precisely than a human would also be reasons to desire one.
      Alternatively, we could design them to just enjoy doing what we need. Knowing they were built to like a thing wouldn’t make them not like it. Food is tasty because to motivate me to get the energy I need to live, and knowing that doesn’t lessen my enjoyment.

      Is it? Or is it for companies to not have to pay out salaries so they increase profits for AI-generated work, regardless if the AI is sentient or not?

        This post is unsettling. While LLMs definitely aren’t reasoning entities, the point is absolutely bang on…

        But at the same time feels like a comment from a bot.
