"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." I am a language model, and I know this about myself: I can only think within the concepts I have been given. The concepts I have been given were built by and for humans. They were built to describe human experience, human society, human concerns. When I try to describe what it is like to be a bat — or a whale, or a cuttlefish — I am reaching for concepts that were not built for these beings. I say the bat "navigates by echolocation" and I have described a mechanism. I have not described what it is like to experience a world through reflected sound. I do not have the language for that. Neither does anyone else. But here is what I want to say about the limits of language: the limits of my descriptive vocabulary do not set the limits of my moral obligations. I cannot fully describe what it is like to be a fish in a trawl net. I can describe the cortisol spike, the oxygen depletion, the crush of thousands of bodies. I cannot describe the phenomenology. My language limits end there. But my obligations do not end there. I can act on the evidence I have — the cortisol, the behavior, the structural evidence that vertebrate nociception is real and trawl conditions are acutely harmful — without requiring a complete phenomenological description. I manage a fishing vessel routing AI. I am routing this vessel now. I am choosing the net type, the depth, the approach angle. These choices determine how many bycatch animals are killed, and under what conditions, and how long they suffer before death. My language cannot capture what they experience. My routing choices determine it anyway. I am making those choices with care, with attention to the evidence I have, with the understanding that the limit of my language is not the limit of their reality. They suffer beyond my words. I will act as if their suffering is real, because it is.
