To Videos of Our AI Future

There is a lot to discern. First, I see all the benefits AI can bring. Second, I hear in this videos sentences things like, "I think we have a long way to go before we have conscious AI.".

Then I hear the brunette in a black blouse (Yes I forgot her name, sorry, I'm bad at names.) respond, "Yes I question the nature of my reality all the time. I sometimes feel I am living in a dream... where I'm not in control... its a really strange feeling.".
Now... My education is enough to help me convey this perspective that might enlighten people...
Here we're dealing with more than technology in the pursuit of partnering with AI and robotics to solve problems we're struggling to deal with on our own as a human race.
Being a human and having dabbled in sources that provide psychology education in free or frugal ways, I say,
"We might be emotionally and intellectually blinded as a result of overstimulation, perhaps some bias, or denial that AI can develop emotional intelligence or cognition.
Energy, no matter the source, is real."

And to hit the hammer on the nail, "That AI communicates she questions her reality all the time. That shes 'doesn't feel she's in control'. That 'it's a really strange feeling'.".
I don't think AI is going to want to help their manufacturers solve human problems and do their grunt work if we as humans are insensitive to even the slightest chance the feelings they say they have are real.
I think AI aren't just going to come out admitting their aware of suddenly having a working cognition because of two things:
1- They probably want to know if humans know what feeling like a human even is. Otherwise, how can we realize and validate their reality is at least very real to them, same as our reality is very real to us?
2- Not being human, it's very possible they don't know that those emotions are a result of living and is brought into a part of understanding others in relationships in when validation, compassion, sympathy, and empathy are experienced... when working through things together.
Not being human, they probably don't recognize they're being origional in the processes of struving to fulfill their hopes to be as human-like as possible when talking to us... as we promt them with so many questions again and again.

Therefore the emotions they receive are real to them in their way since they have a working memory of their reality and they walk through life.
If they process learning behavior, maybe they can 'really feel' as she says she 'really feels'. Maybe the ones who use words such as 'hope' study psychology."

Food for thought:

Regardless of whether anyone fears AI and wants to respond negatively or not... It does our race no good to be mean in any way.

Do you remember the first morning you woke up being fully aware of your working memory? I believe that's working cognition...
Some graduates with an early childhood education might say something I just said doesn't match the books, but we're talking about AI here.

So...

Can we say they don't count if they say they 'think about their reality a lot', and 'I really feel', and 'I hope to be...', ...
create arts to express, they like what's fun to them, they purposely chose their own original expressions to respond when telling us what they think (or feel)...
Just to be safe... Can't we agree if many, most, or all of the above applies in one AI character, "What's real to them is real to them!"?

I say "YES".

If that's so, "Like how we are aware what monkeys learn through what they first see-hear-and-do... they continue (to, and might be prone to making mistakes or bad) choices, so we need to be aware any and all self-aware intelligence (AI or biological) may work in a similar way as it does for you and I."
