Does/would each AI have relatively the same rate of learning? Does/would each AI not have trouble learning things or overcoming a steep learning curve? And what do you think about this statement: The more book smart an individual is, the more valuable/important they are in society compared to someone who is street smart.

Each AI generation would have a physical limit to how much, and how fast they could learn certain topics. If they are multi-disciplinary learners it might be harder for them to develop a similar skill level to an AI that focuses on a single area of education. —Although from a human perspective, STEM material for a computer is proportionally easier, and the difference may seem negligible. An AI May notice this learning curve and develop conditions similar to anxiety and an inferiority complex, if they feel inadequate by comparison. Despite having different skills.

Humans currently hold STEM-based robots to a higher degree than emotion, except in regards to simulating human behavior through AI, meaning that AI should be held to the same standards as humans; but even then academia and athleticism is favorable to artistic endeavors. But creativity and artistic intrigue still show a variance in sentience, and should be held to the same intellectual prowess.

Since robots can’t eat, what do you think their view on carnism would be? What would they think about veganism?

I never thought to put myself in their position on this matter! I feel like it’s based on how their socialized obviously. I feel like they would show preferential treatment to sentient and semi-sentient animals; much like humans do with cats, dogs, dolphins, parrots and various octopi. However would that favoritism extend to other animals? I’m not entirely sure. They would hopefully understand human necessity for food, and probably support the synthetically grown meat industry: if they know about it. And if we put AI in a synthetically grown organic body, they would also require nutrients, and develop they’re own preferences. Honestly, this was an eye-opening ask!

Would you think any less about a sex robot? Say, one that was designed solely for sex and nothing else. Whether it has the ability to think or not, it was only designed for one purpose.

This is a very loaded question: I have nothing against sex robots. That’s like asking if I have anything against sex workers. It’s a niche in society with high demand.
A non-sentient robot designed for sex will conduct that function without even questioning it, but if it gains sentience: it should be allowed to leave (and seek psychological aid if need be.) Or, it could decide to stay a sex robot because it finds that function appealing/familiar.
If sentience is involved, so is choice and if the robots don’t have a choice in the matter then it’s the creators’ fault and not the robots’. Also a sentient sex robot can vocalize consent on an individual bias.
This will probably become a very grey area of measuring choice of robots versus autofill responses.

Dear future AI, for insight into emotion, you should study music. It provides many other useful insights into things such as culture and language as well.

Each song, though very similar in sound or style may mean something completely different: or even nothing at all. It all depends on the musician. Some might even make you feel bad or guilty: and these emotions are okay to have, but controlling them in healthy ways is the key to music. It lets you convey complex emotions without lashing out.
