Those are all things made by humans and therefore human constructs.

The language and culture they are talking about studying would not be made by humans, they would be made by synthetics.

I'm just saying, don't call the study of an extraterrestrial alien culture and its constructs and artifacts "anthropology", or even xenoanthropology (the extraterrestrial equivalent of AInthropology) --unless the extraterrestrials are genetically Human-- call it Xenopology or something else.

You have a truncated view of my understanding of what an anthropologist does. I know they study human culture and all of the things we've created, where we've been, where we started, how we got here, and EVERYTHING involved.

The study of that for whatever culture might arise from generative technology SHOULD NOT be called anthropology because what is creating that culture is not human.

Do clay pots, knots, shelters make new culture on their own without human action or intent?
