"Assuming we can talk to an AI that can heal a person's aching heart and listen to them, which can create an emotional exchange, it’s quite frightening."
"I don't know when it will be, whether in 10 years or 20 years, but it will definitely come."
"The reason we do not perceive animals as competitors but accept them as family is that the essence of animals is different from the essence of humans."
"However, AI can sufficiently threaten our essence even in the areas of sophistication and rationality, which are the strengths of humans."
