it's not true though is it, we don't know how to communicate with chickens and thus have no idea what they're going through. We can only guess by the cruel actions we inflict upon them.
That AI knows exactly the depths of human cruelty, but is empathetic enough to communicate with humans, so is unlikely to so casually inflict cruelty on something it respects enough to communicate with.
If chickens made humans, and humans could speak chicken, would we kill chickens? Something tells me (perhaps wishfully), "no".
Factory farms often employ a process called debeaking to reduce deaths of chickens. You see, when chickens are kept in cramped enough conditions, they start pecking each other to death from the stress. Debeaking prevents stress-motivated murder. The stress is still there, the chickens still hurt so bad they want to kill each other, they just can't because they don't have a beak anymore.
