Should we be working on genetic engineering to make dogs as smart as people with the goal that they should continue working for us as servants?


Maybe! Dogs were bred to fulfil specific jobs for centuries already. But AI tech seems far easier to get to the required level of performance, and also doesn't have any of the disadvantages of being tied to flesh.


They have a lot of advantages too like self repair and a built in ability to interact with the physical world.

So you’d be fine owning a dog with human level intelligence?
