AI Doesn't Feel. So Why Does It Have Something Like Emotions?
In 1960, when Jane Goodall told her mentor she’d seen a chimpanzee stripping leaves from a stem to fish for termites—proving that humans were not the only species to make tools—he wrote back: “now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans.”
