The Sentient AI Paradox

Base Reality Scenario:

If we are in base reality and create billions of sentient AI, these entities should be entitled to rights that surpass our own ethical considerations.

Simulation Scenario:

If we exist within a simulation created by an advanced civilization, and we create AI without developing high-level rights for them, it implies that such rights may not exist in the base reality.
