Pets of ITG Weigh-In On AI
ITG staff asked their pets what they think about AI. Here’s what they said:
Chris: Hey Mouse, what do you think about AI?
Mouse:
Chris: Mouse, our faculty really want to know what you think.
Mouse: Gawd, leave me alone, I am busy.

Jenn: Looker, what do you think about AI?
Looker: AI? What? Jenn, can you please keep that cat away from me?

Illona: Lois, Linus, what do you two think about AI?
Lois: I’ve been tracking AI under the floorboards for two nights now..
Illona: okay…Linus, how about you?
Linus: My ex started dating an AI, I don’t know how to feel about it.

Katey: Otis, what do you think about AI?
Otis: Oh yea, it’s cool. You know, I feel like there’s room for everyone. Some people don’t like AI, I don’t know why, I think we should all give AI a chance, she might be cool, you never know about people, until you, like, know them better, you know?

Jenn: Best Kitty, what are your thoughts about AI?
Best Kitty: They say AI data centers are destroying the environment, but what they are not talking about is how the spandex in yoga pants is killing tuna. The plastic they use in those textiles was once harmless but it is now turning radioactive in ocean water when it comes in contact with 5G. That is impacting the brain development of tuna embryos, leading to dumb fish that are collecting Darwin Awards. What we should be doing is putting tuna on a low calcium diet because we already know how calcium behaves in 5G environments, and introduce more antioxidants. Also, playing recordings of dolphin sonar to embryo tuna can hatch smarter fish. Ultimately, more omega-3 for everyone.
Jenn: Thank you for that Best Kitty…Donuty, do you have anything to add?
Donuty: Why isn’t anyone talking about dead internet? I don’t even know how many people exist in the world anymore, everyone online is AI. For all we know it’s just us now.

Rebecca: Sophie, can you tell us what you think about AI?
Sophie: I don’t think about it. All I know is that AI can NEVER replace me. Am I right?
Rebecca: What does your friend think?
Sophie: Rebecca, that’s a toy, are you okay??
(In case anyone was wondering, Looker is not actually a pet but a wild animal that is sharing a porch with Jenn)
