Well, dogs can either express or mimic a lot of emotions that we recognize.

And I think that's a big thing.

A lot of the magic of animals and robots is our own self-projection.

And the easier it is for us to...

see ourselves in something and project human emotions or qualities or traits onto it, the more we'll relate to it.

And then you also have the movement, of course.

I think that's also really, that's why I'm so interested in physical robots, because that's, I think, the visceral magic of them.

I mean, there's research showing that we're probably biologically hardwired to respond to

autonomous movement in our physical space because we've had to watch out for predators or whatever the reason is.

And so animals and robots are very appealing to us as these autonomously moving things that we view as agents instead of objects.

Yeah.

You feel seen.

Oh yeah.

Totally.

I think that's going to change.

I think you're right.

And I think that's the game-changing nature of things like these large language learning models.

And the fact that these companies are investing in embodied versions that move around of Alexa, like Astro.

I mean, it's out.
