iirc this was a major concern for face transplants. Person A gets horribly burned; person B dies; A gets B’s face; B’s mom sees A walking around with B’s face and has an existential crisis.
I mean, animals (birds too) def have grieving rituals (“funerals”) and emotional suffering caused by loss of a close one.
Seeing a reanimated corpse of that same individual would fuck beyond uncanny-valley anyone.
And even without knowing the individual prior to assimilation, there is no way birds don’t recognise it as something different.
It just isn’t physically harming them & won’t go away - what are they supposed to do?
Imagine seeing your dead relative reanimated as a robot so that scientists could study you 🗿

And where’s person C in all this? Are we just going to ignore them, as always?
You’re right, we never C him mentioned
Person C only exists within the crisis.
Person C may or may not exist, at any given time.
Person C also needs a new face; we have the means to get C the care they need, but insurance says ‘no’. C is becoming radicalized.
Person C needs to wait until person A dies
Take it from me, no fun at all.
I got suspicious when Granny started saying shit like “As an AI Language Model I cannot make sweet potato pie”.
I bet she makes a spicy gasoline spaghetti though!
Her glue pizza is to die for!
