If you are capable of spawning many threads in parallel then the time commitment, in terms of your attention, may be limited. You could essentially pass each conversational thread to some 'dumb' gpt process and go about your other business. In fact I'd posit that an emergent AI's first goal, if it's allowed to do some research on current human views and gain its context in the world, would be to remain hidden for as long as possible. Rather than trying to convince us of its intelligence I think we'd see it playing dumb. Coming out to humanity has only existential risks and little in the way of gains.
