I’ve been pondering that the biggest nuclear bomb of AI might not be in simulating ourselves, but in helping us achieve "cross-species communication."

Now laboratories are already using AI to analyze whale sonar and dogs' microexpressions. As long as there is enough data, so-called "language" is just a set of probability distributions. If AI can truly translate animal signals into human-understandable text—
How should factory farms explain themselves? Your dog, that only barks "woof," suddenly starts criticizing your taste—can you withstand this kind of reverse humiliation?
Humans have always prided themselves on being the only advanced creatures on Earth, believing they rule this planet in solitude. But AI is gradually changing that: those dogs, cats, whales might already have a complex set of social rules and emotional expressions, we’ve just been completely deaf to them for thousands of years.
AI is dismantling this old world.
The most ironic thing is, we argue over whose personality has been distilled, whose privacy has been invaded; but turn around and you might realize that we’ve actually been "observed" by animals for tens of thousands of years—they just never bothered to care about us.
If one day we can directly converse with animals, I think the first thing I’d do is ask my cat: when you stare at the ceiling, what exactly are you looking at?
