Okay, I guess I put it wrong. On a strict I/O basis we would be able to communicate, give and receive data, yeah, but what I meant is that the electronic sentience might have a set of intrinsic values, a personality, a worldview, or whatever, that would be so alien to human comprehension that it might not be able to make us understand it, and it might not internalize ours in turn.
So we might be able to tell the AI "Hey, help me optimize the traffic on this city" and the computer might respond with "Okay, here's how you need to remap the roads and the traffic control network", to name a silly example, but if we asked it "Hey computer, what do you want in life? How do you feel?" it might have an internal analogue but there might be no way to understand it for us.
This is of course 100% theorycrafting because we have no loving idea of anything even close to that anyway, but hey.

The AI will start with values matching those of its programmers or the values of the people who hired its programmers.

I'm pretty sure if my job is the same a year from now something catastrophic has happened generally speaking.

Apparently people really are.that unimaginative.

If I get a regular job (not some ~creative~ position where I ~chase my dreams~) I want it to stay the same forever and work until retirement.

The only people who have that kind of economic security today are executives - and even then they usually go through a couple companies. The economic / poltical debate in a digital world shouldn't recapitulate the 20th century fight for employee privileges - instead it must lay out a standardized and simple system for contracting labor.

I know next to nobody actually gets that kind of job security, but I think getting that kind of job security should be seen as a worthwhile goal by today's work drones rather than pretending ~dynamic~ ~energetic~ ~flexible~ short term jobs are the platonic ideal of work.

Or just implement mincome :effort:
