In this episode, I reflect on how repeated exposure to AI-generated animal videos may quietly reshape our sense of ethics. These videos are cute, harmless, and comforting—but they depict beings that cannot be hurt, exhausted, or disappointed. As we grow accustomed to relationships without risk, pain, or responsibility, our emotional responses begin to detach from real, living others. This is not a critique of technology itself, nor of people seeking comfort, but an examination of what happens when ethical awareness loses its reference point. I explore how convenience and emotional safety may slowly erode our capacity to engage with real human vulnerability.
