I doubt it, as we are a self-aware conscious being. Ants aren't. There would be no doubt that they would study us, but I imagine it would be highly ethical. Either way, Scumple's statement was fallacious.
Regarding Pappa's comment about "utopian fiction" being boring, well that may be so, but it's not a choice between simply dystopian or utopian.

Realism as well as excitement and the healthy history of the genre all indicate stay with dystopia. Why change something what works?

I would posit that human behaviour as it stands today would indicate a high fraction of philosophical zombies who are little different from ants in terms of self-awareness (or any awareness even).
