A child can be abused and does not comprehend what is happening to then but that doesn’t make it ok. It’s not the task I am worried about but how it will be treated. Are there any guarantees that a conscious will never be developed? If it does happen then what next?

Pattern recognition and ML we have now are incredibly useful for specific tasks though, so dismissing whole tech based on theoretical fears seems very conservative.
