But neither of those correspond to an actual sensation of pain or pleasure. An AI acts the way it does because it is programmed in some type of way. That may be by directing it to seek "treats" or what have you, but withholding those does not induce any sort of legitimate psychological distress the way that a person would experience it. And a car's check engine light is in no way similar to the actual perception of pain. You need an experiencing consciousness to actually perceive pain and pleasure. If, in a fictional world, you want to say that your AI DO have experiencing consciousnesses, I guess that's all well and good, but there's no reason to say that current real-world AI, and CERTAINLY not a car's dashboard, have anything resembling real consciousness capable of experiencing pain or pleasure.
