Yes they are. Guide dogs, hunting dogs, sheep dogs. The comparison to LLMs is genuinely useful here, because dogs are unreliable tools that you have to work with over a period of time to figure out.
I've used this argument for real in the past with people who complain that it's unethical to set sightless people up with vision LLM tools because those tools are unreliable and make mistakes. My counter is that a) so are guide dogs and b) it's rude to discount the agency of people with accessibility needs in evaluating and selecting tools for themselves.
No they're not, they're animals as we are, otherwise one would claim that you simon are a tool too. I'm finally starting to understand your world beliefs from post and comments, it's aberrating and dystopian
Another void argument, we're speaking about tools, dogs are not tools

Comparing dogs, things that experience sentience, to software feels deeply dystopian and antihuman.

You can 100% use dogs as tools as we've done for thousands of years.
They're not, they re partners/coworkers with emotional bonds and a reciprocal relationship. Reducing them to tools is so Bay Area level of BS.
