If anyone needs to be told that causing suffering in a sentient mind for fun is a bad thing, then the discussion is really about whether or not causing suffering for fun is a good thing or not.

I happen to believe causing suffering in sentient beings for fun is a bad thing.

Well, it would also depend on the suffering of a sentient being of your creation. You create this consciousness from scratch and invest a lot of money into it. It's not like a child, which is brought about by biological processes. AI is designed from the ground up for a particular purpose.

Also these beings aren't irreplaceable like biological beings. You can always just make more.
