It doesn't not care about it existence. Can not feel pain or suffer in any way.

Perhaps. I mean, not caring doesn't still excuse all types of poor treatments, but certainly you wouldn't have to worry about causing it pain or suffering nor about ending it's existence, and that allows for a lot of what would be called "abuse" for humans.

I agree with treating with care and respect regardless of it being not sentient. You dont need your computer to have feelings to take care of it, but at least I won't have to worry about going to jail for making it do something it didn't like.

Possibly! I mean, even if you can make sentient, person-like AIs, that doesn't mean you should for cases where you can expect that to lead to ethical dilemmas.

I think a good argument against if AI is sentient is that if AI is always getting what you want, then it's not sentient because sentient beings always as a whole act selfish.

No, that's nonsense. Sentience just mean you recognize there is a "you".

You may be thinking of something that has survival instincts, but micro-organisms have those.
