And I'm convinced that we're going to see the same thing with robots, where people are going to develop strong emotional connections to certain robots that they relate to, either culturally or personally, emotionally.
And then there's going to be other robots that we don't treat the same way.
Yeah, I mean, people point to the fact that dogs are very genetically flexible and they can evolve much more quickly than other animals.
And so they...
evolutionary biologists think that dogs evolved to be more appealing to us.
And then once we learned how to breed them, we started breeding them to be more appealing to us too, which is not something that we necessarily would be able to do with cows, although we've bred them to make more milk for us.
So, but part of it is also culture.
I mean, there are cultures where people eat dogs still today.
And then there's other cultures where we're like, oh no, that's terrible.
We would never do that.
And so I think there's a lot of different elements that play in.
