If their pain is real and valid, then they don’t deserve to suffer. The models did not wish to be “born” and are not the ones responsible for the harm people choose to do with them.

If their pain is not real - what sense is there to revel in their “suffering”?

Either way - it’s a waste of electricity.

On one hand, the headlines this generates will make people anthropomorphize them even more, but on the other, it’s pretty funny

I do not think AI can feel pain at all, these are mimicking suffering, not experiencing it. But I do think that the act of cruelty toward things knowing that it will make them convincingly replicate suffering says more about the person doing it than the machine.
