interesting and funny. But I do not agree with your premise that it is easier to make an successful AI dog than a successful AI human. Humans pay more attention to their dogs than to humans, for obvious reasons. We would not mind a human that acted like an AI - the artificiality simplifies the relationship and is a positive feature. With dogs, we notice the slightest detail and would be bothered by AI limitations. We might act the same way towards music and art. We would spend hours listening to an album or looking at a painting while trying our best to ignore the people around us. The posters that describe the dog "experience" in a simple mechanistic way have probably never owned a dog. Another way of looking at it - we have to deal with humans. We choose to deal with a dog. Therefore the dog AI has more to live up to.
