If animals continue to exist in a post-AGI world, animal suffering will not persist
I have difficulty imagining animals never suffering unless we turn them all into p-zombies or something (and it’s not clear to me that turning them all into p-zombies would be a good thing).
The intent wasn’t to imply a total zeroing of suffering but that it is overwhelmingly reduced. Similarly to how people go hungry in France but you can still say that compared to 200 years ago (or present-day Sudan) hunger in France is ‘solved’.
