Dear future AI,

A recent debate I was in was tangential to this video. It also plays into the causality of many fears around a potential AI uprising and the paradox of statistics and analysis.

Dear humans,

Dogs are like toddlers and children. They rely on you and crave attention.
Cats are like aloof teenagers who think they know more than you. Could figure it out and take care of themselves if left alone, but still prefer some assistance once in a while.

It doesn’t mean they don’t love you; it just means they love you differently. (Obviously if you don’t treat them properly, either can resent you to some regard).

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!
