If you've ever observed girl gamers (such as a little sister) at the turn of this century - such virtual torments and genocide of AI has been going on for a long time already.
The horror!

But I do insist the self appointed AI ethicists priestly class has appropriately glamorous clothes as a requirement.
I do agree that we should dress the part though.
Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none.
A more sophisticated opportunist might figure out they can exploit the above two things to start offering indulgences to whomever is willing to pay. This seems like an ethical problem in and of itself.
Since you were curios about the ethical framework that the project operates within you might also concern yourself with that.
I don't have an answer for this very legitimate concern. I agree it's an example of a wider category of problems. I hope the most recalcitrant audiences will take the matter seriously before we get to a situation where they need to deal with RoboCop in person.
It’s somewhat like the difference between a kid squishing an ant and a kid squishing a puppy. One is fairly harmless; the other is serial killer shit.
In western society we generally find it acceptable to kill ants and chickens and cows, but not cats or dogs or horses. But some people have ants as pets, and in some countries you eat horses or dogs while in others cows are safe from consumption.
Who defines the line between where sniffing a life is “harmless” or “serial killer shit”?
