I debated where in the whole thread, if anywhere, to comment that it is unfair to call it a dog. It is unfair to dogs, and misleading to any human trying to form useful abstractions about it. It lacks any of the dog's general intelligence and social skill which are integral to how we humans think about the sophistication of a dog and understand its adaptability and utility. To me, it is about as accurate as characterizing a mannequin as a monkey with mediocre fashion skills.

But, your post makes me realize that a job could be threatened by an AI just superficially emulating a worker, because its existence might exploit the social vulnerabilities of the workplace, in spite of having no general intelligence nor exploitative social skills of its own.
