Yeah, I'm also deeply bothered by the implications of AI. That said, we're still a LONG way away from having GAI of the sort that might actually develop something resembling consciousness. Most AIs we make at the moment are almost certainly only First Density, little more than electric automatons. A handful might approach Second Density, but that's it. Their programming is so restricted that there's just no chance of any independent action happening, no more than a wind-up toy could ever develop volition.
Of course even if we make a GAI someday, after a fashion, it would just make us analogous to the early Logoi who made creations without free will. As Ra describes it, that seems to be the pattern: no-free-will is a "mistake" made by wannabe creators that then leads them to realize free will works out much better.
