I was watching a video about robot dolphins š¬ and how they can replace the real animals in aquarium and in this way avoid animals from being locked up.
You would think that those animals are being fed and they have medical treatment but maybe youāre kind of sugarcoating the fact that theyāre captive unable to live the wild life they deserve. These robots would be a solution to this, as technology improves you could build better dolphin animals run entirely on AI.
I remember itās mentioned that, in the long run, the cost of keep an aquarium of actual dolphins would be more expensive than just buy a bunch of robot dolphins. That makes sense, you donāt have to feed them, no special water treatment, no vets, although I bet isnāt cheap to buy one of them and to keep an engineer team to their maintenance.
Iām not so sure if I would take my daughter to that aquarium with only robots š¤.
