The word people should be throwing around is Sapience.
Comment on The Inventor Behind a Rush of AI Copyright Suits Is Trying to Show His Bot Is Sentient

Animals are sentient. They cannot own copyrights. Proving the AI is sentient does nothing to make its outputs copyrightable.

Sapience has nothing to do with it either.

Maybe they should be able to though?

Well put. We are so jealous of our own sentience that we eat most of the other sentients. The idea that we’d show the respect of intellectual-property protections to another species is laughable; our jealousy is biblical.

You understand this makes you sound insane right?
Humans don’t eat sentient species out of jealousy.
ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Jealousy in the biblical sense means being fiercely protective of one’s domain and prerogatives, and exclusionary to the point of not tolerating any other options. It’s not jealousy in the human-to-human sense.

I understand you’re not mentally sound so this is a waste of time but for your sake I’m going to let you know, you are speaking gibberish.
People do not eat sentient animals out of jealousy.
Your nonsensical religious definition has nothing to do with why people eat sentient animals.
