A Star Wars meme in which "plants have feelings and are intelligent" is put next to "software or LLMs have feelings and are intelligent", and both are ridiculed and dispised. Sorry, I don't actually like Star Wars.

Why bring in the plant thing? I don't think I've seen anyone talk about that. The ai death cult thing sure, but the plant thing I haven't even seen before. Seems weird.

    I have, unfortunately. It's an argument made to trivialize the suffering of animals (i.e. under human control) by making pain and suffering an unavoidable and universal constant (appealing to the futility and foolishness of trying to reduce it or think about it.)
