Just to understand the scope of the task:

In the last month PDP averaged over 14 million views per day, with peaks above 20 million. At 1MB per minute for the lowest video quality (240p) that gives you a floor of 14 terabytes per day per minute of video watched. Multiply that by 10-12 for 1080p video. Assuming users watch only 10 minutes of PDP per day, that gives you somewhere between 140 and 1400 TB per day of video delivered reliablely, planet wide, everyday. As a floor that requires delivery of 1.66 GBytes/sec, 24 hours a day.

It seems unlikely that we’d label something GAI unless it possesses (or rather appears to possess) its own “theory of mind” for the things with which it communicates. At that point I’d expect collaboration to arise in much the same ways that it does for humans, with many of the same warts. That presupposes we get something relatively equal in capability rather than something dog-like. If we get something god-like instead we may learn more about the dog’s point of view rather quickly.
