  would disagree and say according to AI:

  As a biologist, I strongly believe that we should not permit the genetic engineering of fish to create 'uplifted' highly intelligent fish. Such interventions could have unforeseen ecological consequences, disrupt natural ecosystems, and raise serious ethical questions. We need to respect the natural evolutionary processes and focus on preserving biodiversity.
