The answer depends on how (one believes) the social utility function responds to new instantiations of sentients that are very similar to existing ones.
I don’t think that creation of new sentients, in and of itself, has an impact on the (my) SUF. It only has an impact to the extent that their creators value them and others disvalue such new beings.
