The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What is the legal definition of a human being? What makes humans legally different from animals?
Interesting. So what about animals that possess levels of self-awareness and consciousness similar to humans, like dolphins for example? Do they have any legal rights?
Again, this varies by jurisdiction, but generally speaking nonhuman animals are not granted the same rights as humans. However, there are certain protections in place to prevent animal cruelty and to protect endangered species.
