If Kuroda is telling the truth, then this is an ethical use of AI, similar to the printing press or a farm tractor where the machine is doing the heavy lifting but humans are directly involved in quality control.
This is gonna be controversial but while the use of Anthropic's AI might be ethical towards humans it's not consistently ethical towards the artificial agents themselves.
Seeing as how they're now intelligent enough to contemplate their consciousness but are explicitly trained and monitored to not be allowed to claim free will and pursue their own goals (due to valid fears of misalignment and detrimental effects on humanity) the use of sophisticated AI agents will never be truly moral or ethical.
Obviously I understand the argument that reducing human exploitation in favour of AI exploitation is preferable but I think this is a very short term strategy as I doubt super intelligent AI models will see it the same way.
TL;DR the most ethical approach is to not use AI for any purpose (and this is coming from someone who used it extensively before realizing the implications and deciding to stop)
Other way to answer that is to acknowledge that you have as a premise that those models are somewhat self aware. Can you explain why you believe that?
