King explains that dolphins and humans process sound in fundamentally different ways. While dolphins can echolocate, they process that information in the brain region connected to touch, not vision, meaning they may be "hear-feeling" rather than "seeing" with sound—a sensory experience potentially inaccessible to humans even with AI.
