  It's a fun switch on the idea that being considered cute to humans is probably the best evolutionary strategy for animals, since we tend to go to extraordinary lengths to save cute animals. Should we be cutemaxxing as an evolutionary strategy? lol

  I was sitting and imagining what would be the future once AI starts doing everything for humans. I imagined a future where humans don't do any work and everything is done by AI. At that point humans would relax and get fed by the work of the AI.

  In short, we will become cats for our AI overlords.

  When that happens, it will be important to be cute enough for an AI overlord to "adopt" us. Hence this attempt.
