The growing market for ‘pet communication buttons’ is leading to a rise in the number of extremely impressive videos and blogs from pet owners documenting how their animals – particularly canines – use talking pet buttons. I recently tried a couple of these button sets on my dog, Calypso, and she gave them a bit of a half-hearted chew before losing all interest, so we won’t be starting any TikTok trends just yet. What is more, recent headlines suggest that AI, and in particular large language models, can help us translate the sounds animals make to communicate with each other into human language. Wittgenstein's philosophy can help us understand why such far-fetched claims of animals communicating in a human language, and humans understanding animal language are misleading.
- always thought the dog was smarter in this regard, having to discern which phrase impressed their owner enough to feed, let them out etc.imbecile
- it comes across as communication because other humans understand what each other are saying. i could just as easily train my dog to sit when i say run.imbecile
