If it's genuinely what you say, then how is what is going on not slavery?
I don't believe AGI is possible but if it was and it was as subjective as you say what is and isn't conscious, then it starts to take on an even more altogether evil character.
Akin to cloning slave humans or something for free cheap labor.
how does a linguistic and language issue relate to slavery. It's the definition of a word. That's all.
Slavery is also a word. Don’t you find it strange that your entire moral framework is constructed on top of the basis of arbitrary definitions of vocabulary? Make what you think is right or wrong based not off of language. Language is a delusion that masquerades as something with actual meaning when it is just an invention, a tool, to facilitate communication.
Right now your concept of right and wrong is a vocabulary issue. Does this make sense? No.
