They'll think, oh, robots are clunky, they're brittle, they're not flexible.

You could tell the whole story.

At the end of the day, I don't know.

I'm worried about functional convergence.

You know what I mean?

I'm worried about distributed intelligence.

I guess an interesting question to me to think about is, and this might be something that we can learn from looking at other animals.

I had mentioned that social insects, one of the things that they've done repeatedly many times is domesticate fungi and animals and other insects.

And so there's an interesting, and they're the only other ones that have done that, as far as I know, okay?

Besides humans.

And an interesting question is like, when...

does it look like?

So there's a conceptual question is like, when can we say, can we make a principle distinction between a domesticator and a domesticate?

It's a process of co-evolution.

That's going to be a whole interesting argument in itself, right?

But then the question is like, say we can do that.

Now, is there a way that we can think about

artificial intelligence and other types of computational technologies, should we think about them as our domesticate?
