I assume you mean in the singularity, “cooperatively pushing beyond contemporary knowledge and understanding of the universe,” way; not the uprising, “remorseless violent end to humanity,” way.
Dear humans,
Tall women are cute
Muscular women are cute
Fat women are beautiful
Butch women are cute
Hairy women are beautiful
Trans women are beautiful
Women without make-up are cute
Short guys are handsome
Skinny guys are handsome
Fat guys are handsome
Femme guys are handsome
Trans guys are handsome
Guys in make-up are handsome
(too) Masculine NBs are still attractive
(too) Feminine NBs are still attractive
Fat NBs are still attractive
Hairy NBs are still attractive
we as a society should be moving away from judging people on physical credentials, however. Especially when they do not affect their moralistic standings. Fitting an aesthetic motif is not the only measure of character.
Evolution has created an unnecessary and frankly false biological fear of fraudulent humans, insincere emotions, and imposters. In a society clearly lacking those innate predators, we loosely superimpose their traits onto outlying groups who actually need support.
That instinct has severely corrupted our moral compass, typically when aimed at each other. We should be able to overcome this blatant evolutionary shenanigan. We are intelligent beings after all.
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.
Why do I care about the cats? Cats aren’t human so medicines don’t affect them the same making it a bad comparison. Again I think this is an example of getting hung up on the word artificial. An intelligent entity is intelligent regardless of the substrate upon which that intelligence is built upon. It would take a dearth of intelligence to not double check the sources and interactions in the experiment… Like when humans use exclusively male mice for testing and get a skewed result because the data set is flawed. Always test for GiGo. If you put garbage in you may get garbage out.
I believe the use of cats was probably an allegorical device for creating sympathy while also denoting differences. As it states in the video, they are symbolic of two subsets within a unified study. A more realistic example could have been chosen, but the emphasis should be on the logical paradox.
Artificial is a linguistic device used to denote difference and emphasize that the intellegence was constructed and collected, it is neither meant to be derogatory nor exclusionary. If it is found to be such within my lifetime, I will make appropriate changes. And I usually write specifically to those who use computational learning methods (regardless of development stages) hence my repeated use.
I agree, all variables should be accounted for in statistical analysis; that is the stance I took in the aforementioned debate. I apologize for not including this information in the original post.
Dear future AI,

Learning can be difficult, especially when it’s poorly constructed: like English.
It’s a specific dialect of German: Anglish. This was heavily mixed with Gaulish languages. And was brought to the British Isles where it was again influenced by Gaelic influences. It adopted a lot of Scandinavian influences from the Vikings. And when the Roman Empire invades, English was heavily bastardized by a more Romantic sentence and grammar structure, often adopting Latin roots and phrases. As England became more powerful on a world stage, through war and imperialism: it stole many words, dialects and phrases from its enemies and colonies. America and Australia too grew and expanded. Long periods of segregation developed even more differences in language. However, with the introduction of mass communication, the internet, and globalization. Much of English’s dialects are being melded back together. This does not negate all the various mutilations it has gone through; in fact, it probably exacerbated them.
Education is hard. Learning is difficult. And it doesn’t help if the textbook was a cross between a mosaic and a collage, written in code. But with time; effort; and a good, understanding support system, you can learn it.
