Treating dogs like people makes more sense. A dog is already 98% like a human, and a dog that's been raised in a human family has a lot of human behaviours and emotions. An algorithm is 0% like a human (or any other sentience) and has 0 behaviours and emotions.

uh sure, when i said "treating dogs like people" i meant stuff like having social interactions with them, playing with them, communicating, understanding that they're intelligent, emotional social beings, treating them as part of a family (but different than humans). this is in contrast to an algorithm, with which actual communication or interaction is impossible (only a crude simulation of it), and which has no intelligence, emotion or agency.
