This philosophical essay explores the ethical implications of artificial intelligence and simulated consciousness, particularly concerning the value of lifespan and the number of conscious experiences. The author introduces the concept of a "FrankenWorm," a simulated entity that experiences brief moments of many different simulated lives, questioning whether this entity holds less moral significance than a population of individuals living short lives concurrently. The piece delves into the paradox of creating numerous short-lived conscious beings versus a single long-lived one, and considers the value of continuity of experience versus the sum of experience-moments.
