My own initial reaction to gpt2 helps me understand why pre-modern tribes reacted to being filmed and shown the footage like the camera was stealing their souls. Except, I *like* the idea instead of being horrified by it. Unfortunately as untrue for AIs as for film cameras.

That worry is about as well-posed as “forest fires might become sentient” — vague metaphysical terms being bandied about in content-free ways.
