By this logic, humans should be given only half the consideration we give to orcas, which according to the resource you posted, have twice the neurons we do.

- lanevorockz 5y agoIt also means that deep learning algorithms will soon deserve more rights than humans.
- yostrovs 5y agoOnce sentient, extra neurons don't change the status of a sentient being.
- BeeBoBub 5y agoThat’s not really the argument monkeybutton is making, the point is lobsters’ neural complexity is similar to ants, and orcas are comparable to humans.
- lanevorockz 5y agoIt’s still a gradation, “as complex” is obviously a stretch. The whole argument is silly, soon turning off my Deep Learning algorithms because they are more complex than lobster.
- jojobas 5y ago500 years ago the argument that black people should have rights was just as silly. We'll live to see some sort of AI rights protection laws.
- Chris2048 5y agoNo it wasn't, the argument was as silly as it is now, for a non-subjective definition of "silly". 500 years ago science was less mature, and unable to determine what was objectively silly, and what wasn't.
- otabdeveloper4 5y agoAnts are intelligent enough to form civilization. (I think the only other species than humans.) Granted, ant intelligence is a hive mind.
- createunderrate 5y agoThe ratio of neuron count to body size is the important measurement. An orca might have twice the neurons, but those extra neurons go toward motor control, not experiencing suffering and contemplating mortality.
