if the xbox's facial recognition can register a corgi as player 2 then NT's AI can look at a talking cow and go "yeah that's a human"
On a more serious note, from a lore perspective, coming up with a definition of human that actually covered all humans and only humans would be pretty damn difficult! I'm willing to bet that just about any definition you guys could propose would either result in some humans not being defined as human or some things that clearly aren't human are human.
The safest way, and probably the easiest, honestly, is to have an incredibly broad definition of what a human is as a baseline, one large enough that there are no false negatives, and then eliminate common false positives with additional definitions of what a human is not.
Humans do not turn into bats. Humans do not have probosces. Humans are not primarily composed of metal. Humans do not have prehensile tails. Humans do not have carnassials. Humans do not have wings.
Some things that NT was not aware of when the definitions were made will slip by and be considered human when they aren't, of course. But is there a particular reason to add whole new definitions to exclude talking cows, or humanoid roaches? Not really.
