Imagine it. If you can.
The naïve coding of an AI-image generator could. So, what does that say about you?
Imagine its naked flesh, the gooey albumin shimmering in prismatic nascency, the macabre eyeless eyes winking at you, all desperately flopping to gain traction in the rush of the river.
Can it swim? Or do the skinless fillets just float in a sea of ones and zeroes?
I ask you, how does it think?

Fig.1 My attempt at representing how a skinless salmon thinks.
I ask you what it says:
void myfunction (datatype argument) { // any statement(s)
}
Output function (scream) {
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHHHHGH – 01101000 01100101 01101100 01110000. }
Can it taste and smell as we do, or does it just fade into the innumerable lines of codes that compose its body?
- “I think we should discuss the possibility of increasing your medication dosage, ” the Doctor tells you.
- You nod and reply, “But will the drugs answer if salmon can swim without its skin?”.
