This is honestly one of the scarier parts about the rhetoric, they're basically implying they would happily enslave a sentient being.

    In theory, you could imagine a totally unconscious intelligence, that can make intelligent decisions but has no conscious experiences / is not sentient. Of course I don’t know if such a system would be actually possible. But it is at least conceptually possible to separate the two ideas (consciousness/sentience vs intelligence)
