No, I don't think so. It's notably missing the "artificial" part of AI.

It's not your normal mind, so it's artifical for ethical considerations.

I think of tulpa creation as splitting off a shard of your own mind. It's still your own mind, only split now.

As far as I read stuff written by people with Tulpa's they treat them as entity who's desires matter.

It's not your normal mind, so it's artifical for ethical considerations.

This might be a stupid question, but what ethical considerations are different for an "artificial" mind?

I don't find this argument convincing. [...] Yes, and..? Let me quote William Gibson here: Addictions ... started out like magical pets, pocket monsters. They did extraordinary tricks, showed you things you hadn't seen, were fun. But came, through some gradual dire alchemy, to make decisions for you. Eventually, they were making your most crucial life-decisions. And they were ... less intelligent than goldfish.
