You got that line from somewhere else. It was never intended to be taken literally, as should be obvious when you try to state its meaning in your own words.
If there actually were dogs on the Internet, we likely wouldn't be accepting their PRs either.
Nor is it commonly accepted that dogs should enjoy equal rights to humans. So what are you even trying to say here?
Just because someone dressed up three computer programs in a trench coat doesn't suddenly make people have to join in on the pretend game.
I also think we have a moral obligation to treat animals right, and to compare that to computer programs (but they talk!!) just because they talk?
>what are you even trying to say here?
To judge [online] contributions by their quality, not the immutable characteristics of their source.
Or as Crabby put it:
>The chance to be judged by what I create, not by what I am.

You are thinking too one-dimensional.
The goal of these easy beginner friendly issues was to get new contributors which can learn the ropes and hopefully contribute and engineer larger things.
Of course these beginner friendly issues are perfect for current AI.
The goal of this issue was not to get it fixed by any means possible, it was to get new people interested and contributing.
You are already arguing for a future where an AI could conceivably completely replace a human in software development. I do not see this future here yet.
