    The distinction between AI sentience and human-like motives

    A commenter argues that even if a system is sentient, that alone wouldn't show it has self-preservation interests.

    TLDR

    A commenter says a discussion of sentience was confused: even if a system is “sentient” in the sense discussed, that alone would not establish human-like motives or interests, such as self-preservation. Nor, they argue, would it show that concepts like slavery, murder or death meaningfully apply to the system.
