If human species can learn tentacle acuity, bio-sympathy, and wisdom from the octopus, wouldn't we feel pains caused by anthropocentric thinking in a different way? AI is usually considered artificial intelligence, but in the title of AI Octopus, AI here means alternative intelligence, that could be deviating from brain-centered thinking. This work imagines what if the octopuses evolve their own intelligence further, make Octoficial Intelligence (octopus-like intelligence created by octopus) and visit the time and space we live in, then what could they tell us?
