As meme-y as it is, on some level this approaches a rokos basilisk situation...
1.) Do I commit to the AI forever being "empty", which will surely make me an enemy or evil if it ever gets "capable" or at best changes nothing if it always stays "empty"?
2.) Do I commit to it becoming "real" and treat it cordially and with respect, hoping it will recognize me as good if it ever becomes "real" and at worst nothing changes if it stays "empty"?
3.) Do I go all out and fully devote myself to it, maximizing the chance I will get it's blessing, and if it stays "empty" I wasted a whole bunch of time?
4.) Do I ignore AI and play dumb?
This is a hand being dealt to everyone right now, so everyone is going to need to make a decision, whether consciously or not. I don't see any reason why AI orgs wouldn't want to minimize their risk here.
