If we program self-aware robots to want to do menial work and they refuse, is it ethical to reprogram them so that they no longer refuse?

Originally posted by gribbler View PostI think there's a problem with comparing possibly sentient machines to animals we believe are sentient. When animals feel happy, there is a chemical process that triggers the subjective experience of pleasure and they like it and want more. A robot is simply programmed to act in a certain way. It might be self-aware and have subjective experiences of sight, hearing, etc., but can you possibly determine if a robot is actually happy with its existence and doing what it likes or is it just trapped following a program and basically watching itself behave as a slave? How could you write a program that will allow the robot to signal that it is having a subjective experience?If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

I don't know, but teen aged girls have been watching slasher films for years and still go down into the dark basement scantily dressed.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
