it's entirely relevant. we should know if we are building conscious beings, especially at scale (which seems like a likely future). that poses all sorts of ethical questions which ought to reach far beyond the confines of a lecture hall's walls.

ChatGPT could be placed inside a realistic looking animatronic doll that looks like a defenseless little girl and you would have people demanding to protect "her" rights. Yet people "kill" chatGPT each time they delete a conversation without a bat of an eye even if it's the exact same thing. The real danger giving AI political agency and it will come from humans, not AI itself.
