Pets Translated! Turns Out That Meow Was An Insult!

We know some of your pet owners out there act like you can tell exactly what every noise out of your pet means, but scientists have figured out a way to find out what they are REALLY saying...

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the fits in with with Cake Richie podcast
AI as Tommy's just chewed our ears off during that song,
saying that five hundred mil of water gets burnt every
question asked, one bottle of water.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Telling your story.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
One bottle of fresh water for every everything, every question
you ask.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
So you mean cooling the servers down.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
But see then, Tommy, I'm visualizing that there's one person
there that's opening a bottle of water every time another
question comes in.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's not a bottle of water, it's another question they
had to get.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
They had to get Andy from the fire Festival documentary to.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Get the water off the truck. Yeah, Tommy, that the
water is used to cool the servers.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
Yeah, exactly so, because otherwise they overheat. Of course, but
some data servers are using up to sixty of a
city's energy.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
You do know that a lot of it is cloud
storage as well. Yeah, so water in those clouds is
there we come from?

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Anyway, something to think about when you're.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Using Thank you for your anti AI campaign, tom.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
I will never think about it ever again, ever again.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
This AI program developed out of China has really really
got people concerned but excited at the same time.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
If you're a pet lover.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
They've been able to create AI, which is like Doctor Doolittle,
where you are able to talk to the animals. In fact,
they're able to talk to you. Give you so the
AI can assess the movement of the pet and the
sounds from the pet and translated into the language of
your choice. So your dog, based on what it's doing,
could have a speaker around its neck on the collar

(01:43):
fits which talks to you, and it's meant to be
accurate to what the dog is thinking and how it's behaving.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I'm a fooling toad.

Speaker 5 (01:52):
Oh my gosh, not a snark. It'll just be food,
more food, food.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Food, food, toilet food.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Walk, give me the ball.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
The other opportion is you're able to point and shoot
your camera at the dog and the text will come
on the screen to say what your dog's thinking.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Are doing?

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Well, it has to learn your dog first though.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, there must be some sort of training part to
the AI. But at the same.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Time, what I like about this technology is how can
you ever challenge it? You can't prove it or you
can't disprove it.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Of course, if it just goes with.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Generic dog things like yeah, could do with more food.
If in doubt, do with more food, food and walk.
I reckon is just the default to the platform, and
no one can argue it's wrong.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, the default would just be pat me, pat me,
pat me?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Can we isolate that?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Grab Tom absolutely talk about what price he was feeling
on Mother's Day?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
For some reason, I'm getting served up on my algorithm
at the moment.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Has anyone seen the translation glasses?

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
How do they work?

Speaker 4 (03:01):
So you wear a pair of glasses and whatever country
you go to, when somebody talks to you on the
glasses and pops.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Up what they're saying.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh that's good, isn't it? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:10):
But then I you instantly go and get the reviews
on it. It's been absolutely slut You know.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
There was the inny technology not long ago fits and
so it did a similar thing, except they didn't put
the text, but you would wear it like an earbud,
and then if somebody spoke to you in Italian, your
earbud would translate it, so you had the English version
for yourself.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
But see is that not because then you've got to
navigate when they're finished talking, and then you've got to
compute what they're saying.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
And then have an answer. It'd be very convinced. It's
a very weird delayed conversation with someone as it takes
five or ten seconds to process and then you come
out with your answer.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
But are the glasses? Are they selling well or are
they so?

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:57):
And well you know that well that Internet sensation speed.
You know that guy who runs really fast and he
travels my speed.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Yeah, I show speed. He put them on and as
soon as he started going, I'm my god, this is amazing.
But then you go, you.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Go to the reviews straight away and says they can't
pick up. You've got to stand really close to the glasses.
You've got to speak very slowly into the glasses into
the language that you're talking before it can actually work
out what you got.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Tommy, Oh no, I was just you'd like together, and
you said you Optus launched a technology where you could
call any country overseas and it would translate the call
on what they would say to you and what you
would That was pretty wild.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Called South Australia. Once. I couldn't understand all love to
have understood it, idiot.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Sorry.
