Originally, I voted that I slightly agreed, assuming AGI would accelerate developments like cultured meat. Upon further reflection, I realized that advances in technology over the past couple of centuries have been overwhelmingly good for humans but arguably devastating for animals, particularly through factory farming. That makes me lean toward slight disagreement: more powerful technology hasn’t automatically meant better outcomes for animals, and there’s no guarantee AGI will be the exception.
