No, I don't think so. It's notably missing the "artificial" part of AI.
I think of tulpa creation as splitting off a shard of your own mind. It's still your own mind, only split now.
I think the really relevant ethical question is whether a tulpa has a separate consciousness from its host. From my own researches in the area (which have been very casual, mind you), I consider it highly unlikely that they have separate consciousness, but not so unlikely that I would be willing to create a tulpa and then let it die, for example.
In fact, my uncertainty on this issue is the main reason I am ambivalent about creating a tulpa. It seems like it would be very useful: I solve problems much better when working with other people, even if they don'...
