Actually you are right, it makes more sense as two independent axes. ‘Suffering’ on one axis (X) and ‘Verbal ability’ on the other (Y)-- with Tinker Bell on max(X) and high Y, animals on max(X), min(Y), humans (almost?) max(X), max(Y), LLMs on min(X), increasing Y.
It is in fact the independence of the two axes that was interesting, I botched that.
