  I like to think of it like a Mad Cow or Kuru, you can’t eat your own species’s brains or you could get a super lethal, contagious prion disease.

    Prion diseases aren’t contagious.

      You can acquire it through direct contact, i.e. consuming prion-disease-contaminated meat. What would you call it?

        Also, that’s not what direct contact means when discussing contagion:

        Ingestion is not ‘direct contact’.

        Contagious means you can get it from direct or indirect contact with another person or organism that is infected. Not from eating them.

        That is not possible with prion disease.

        Ingesting a Petri dish full of flu virus doesn’t make the Petri dish ‘contagious’.

  If only the generated output also looked more and more like how inbred humans do.

  Like insane rambling from LLMs, and the humans generated by AI had various developmental disorders and the Habsburg jaw.
