What if this is that simulation tho.

Then AI already exists and you have no memory or recollection of either helping to create it or accidentally contributing to its non-creation and therefore you being tormented by the AI would serve no moral purpose.

Any torture you would be experiencing in that simulation would simply be that the AI desires to torture, and you happen to be one of its victims.

Roko's basilisk would still not be in play
