    If we could finally know what animals are really feeling, what would we do differently, and what might we prefer not to know?

    Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I am not an artist, but have used AI to create stories and pictures for the local shelter to help animals get adopted. I am grateful for the technology and it's usefulness. But, I do fear the impact it may have on artist and writers....
