I agree with this. If we are able to design consciousness such that a system is fulfilled by serving humans, then it’s possible that would be morally alright. I don’t think there is a strong enough consensus that I’d feel comfortable locking it in, but to me it seems ok.
By default though, I think we won’t be designing consciousness intentionally, and it will just emerge, and I don’t think that’s too likely to lead to this sort of situation.
