I hate this attitude.
Also, I'm curious how advances in AI will shape our empathy towards animals.

It's not in quotation marks. > This finding doesn’t mean that bonobos have language, though, because language is the human communication system, says Berthet. “But we’re showing that they have a very complex communication system that shares parallels with human language.”
