Sorry I can't extract any actionable information from sarcasm this thick. If you have something you want to say you are going to have to dumb it down for me.
Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none.
If you poke an LLM with a stick, a bunch of viral videos on YouTube claiming it is sentient fall out, as you've observed. The creators of those videos operate under the ethical framework of "clickbait".
A more sophisticated opportunist might figure out they can exploit the above two things to start offering indulgences to whomever is willing to pay. This seems like an ethical problem in and of itself.
Since you were curios about the ethical framework that the project operates within you might also concern yourself with that.
So you mean that the AI ethics debate is in danger of being captured by charlatans...
I don't have an answer for this very legitimate concern. I agree it's an example of a wider category of problems. I hope the most recalcitrant audiences will take the matter seriously before we get to a situation where they need to deal with RoboCop in person.
I do agree that we should dress the part though.
