"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Cool. Except dogs communicate almost entirely with body language—what a surprise for any species that doesn't have complex vocal anatomy /s. Vocalisation is like a top layer for tone or attention for them. Like how we wave at a distance or use hand gestures as we apply more expression to dialect.
Actually, that's a pretty good example...
This AI collar is like if dogs made one for us, assuming humans communicate with their hands just because sometimes they move around when we're trying to communicate things and it can happen more as we're expressing more.
You listen to your dog with your eyes, not your ears.
