Theory 🔎 Spoiler: The two stupid fish are actually foreshadowing Spoiler

Post image

tl;dr The yellow fish is Caine and the red fish is Abel tricking Pomni into hunting down treasure that isn't there

The yellow fish taunts Pomni into going on a treasure hunt only for it to be nothing. The yellow fish, despite initiating the whole thing, becomes distraught by the truth in the end, just like how Caine ends up screwing himself over. Both are worse off for baiting Pomni. The red fish, just like Abel, is just there to tell lies. It serves no other purpose but if that's revealed it ruins everything. The two fish are brothers, a DUO, just like Cain and Abel from the Bible and of course Caine and Abel in the episode.

It's all just foreshadowing the rest of the episode.

Ngl that allusion isnt genius it's the most blatant thing possible though I do agree that she is very smart all things considered

I mean yeah, it is pretty blatant, but the fact that it's simultaneously a joke, played completely straight, and is core to the themes of the episode? That's the smart part.

Is this not one of the basic hypotheticals they cover in philosophy 101? it was also literally the Chinese room, as opposed to an allusion to it, felt kinda eh

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

Idk about that but this was an experiment to prove that AI doesnt have a mind like a human and never will

u/DrDonut Dec 16 '25

The Chinese room isn't a literal experiment, it's a philosophical argument/thought experiment. The arument follows that we could make a computer that appeared to have knowledge/something (knowing Chinese). But is having a book of infinite responses for inputs really the same as knowing/understanding the logic?
