    If mankind were to create a species of non-hominid sentient creatures that want and freely choose to live in bondage and servitude…what would be the ethical choice? Destroy it? Ignore it? Enslave it?

    Suppose it were unintentional. Like some comedy movie, everything goes wrong with a crispr accident and suddenly we have a race of talking horses that tell us they want to be beasts of burden or something.

      I don’t think ChatGPT is smart enough to give informed consent to work with humans. In your example, I would want to give them a full psychological assessment to understand why they are the way they are, and what the long term health effects of working for humans would be.
