This is a screen recording of text-to-speech software reading one of the optional scenes, Dog. In my opinion this would have been an interesting commentary on control, and how – as I discuss in my 600 word statement – we as a species have been totally in control, as well as unique in our ability to process the ideas of love and information. Use of technology in this way poses questions like;

How can AI feel and demonstrate affection towards a dog, and by extension, other things?

Would this affection extend to humans? What about other artificial intelligence?

Is the AI talking to a dog or a human? In the eyes of artificial intelligence, what would be the difference? Either way it is asking a being of “lesser” ability to perform tricks. Isn’t this how we treat computers? If a computer was sentient, would it take offence to that treatment?
