There are a hundred subtle errors of reasoning that ruin naïve and anthropocentric reasoning around morality and AI safety. Have a look at the lesswrong blog, for instance.

That's a bit too anthropocentric view. Also other animals sleep, even nocturnal animals.

For that matter, I'm still of a position that the very idea of "consciousness" is an artifact of the brain's anthropocentric and self-image-preserving post ergo hoc systems, as opposed to anything concrete. Compare it to software: we "see" operating systems, drivers, apps, and the like, but those are all labels of our invention.

It would be terribly anthropocentric to believe that humans are the most sophisticated intelligent entity that can exist in the physical world - after all, we are as far as we know the first such entity to emerge, so from our perspective the evolution of intelligence has now stopped. That's the feasability argument.

Any such attempt to quantitively measure variation in faces would also ignoring other senses, and other ways to establish identity than the face - just the choice of considering faces as an important discriminator feels anthropocentric to me. In short, there is no definitive quantitative measure of "variance".

, from which point on the rest would be pure anthropocentric conjecture. We humans are a bit unique in that there are individuals who go "well I'm bored, guess I'll go observe the sun, moon and other bright discs in the night sky for decades and record their movements as precisely as I can, so that some other person, most probably of a race I've never seen from a place far beyond any horizon I've viewed, can read them centuries later and use them to come up with a heliocentric model of the solar system and from there on other mad toffs with nothing better to do could come up with the theory of gravity or something".
