Speaker 1 (00:00):
However, when I hear a disturbing trend, I pay attention,
and then when I hear involving your pet and artificial intelligence,
I go something that I love and listened something you
hate the AI. Yes, historically I've hated it, but I've
accepted more recently that it's a tool that we're going
to need to accept and use to our betterment.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
However, however, there was a trend happening over the last
couple of weeks that yes, I fell into the trap
of and decided to participate in, and I really regret it.
And it's a trend where you ask artificial intelligence, more
specifically chat GPT to show you what your pet would
look like if they were a huge So I just

(00:52):
all this. You'd think that you would think that. I
thought that's all, and so I was like, well, I
need to do this.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
You gotta do it.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
What bear looks like as a human. So my little
chiou hour, I got a photo of him, and I've
got chat GPT. I actually didn't have the app yet,
I've just used the browser occasionally. So now I have
the app, and I asked chat GPT what my dog
would look like if he were human, and they were
like they, I don't know, chat Chappy, that's what Beth
used to do. Chappy Chappy said back to me, this

(01:22):
is fun. Give me a few more details and then
I can really personalize it.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
So chat gpt identifies this is something that's really not
useful as far as humanity is concerned, and go straight
out of the gate. This is fun.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yes, okay. So I was like, okay, cool. So a
few details about Bear's personality, his favorite toys, whether he's outgoing,
whether he's studious, whether he's aggressive, whether like a few
different traits so that they could really personalize his image
of bed. Wow. And I was like okay. So I
added in that he loves playing with his ball and

(01:55):
he loves his toy sheep that he's had since he
was a tiny puppy. So they've incorporated that into the image.
And look, I thought it was fun. I really did.
Then I saw the image and I can't help think
that I'm currently living with this person, Like when when
Best sits on my lap? Wow, you're now, yes, I've

(02:20):
got this weird dude in a suit sitting on my lap.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Was that chat GPT's choice to put in a suit
or did you say it feels like he'd wear a suit. No, well,
they asked if he would be in more business attire
or more leisurely attire, Like what kind of personality do
you think he would have, Like is he is he
you know, on the stock market, or is he athlete

(02:45):
or a professional athlete?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Of course? Yeah, so I think I did say that
he seemed like he would be a serious kind of guy.
So that's why he's in a suit. But he's got
his toys with him like that shows his fun side too.
So I've got the for you. So when you scroll
down in the email, we can definitely put this on
our Instagram rotting Gabby on Insta, you can go and

(03:07):
check it out. There's a photo of my dog Bear,
So if you scroll down, that's the first photo you'll
see is my dog.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
He's so handsome, he's so cute.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
He's just this cute, little scruffy two hour and then
you go down further and this is what Bear would
look like as a human.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
He's all right, he's all right.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
He has even got his at sheepy key chain. He
looks like someone, doesn't he, Yeah, he does. He looks
like every single forty plus sitcom dab, Yes he does.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
He looks like you can be on the office, you
know what I mean? A little bit, Jim, help it
about it? Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
I can see is that when Bear comes and licks
my face, I'm like, no, this is this is really uncomfortable.
Now I was always uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I would take that, would you think for me? I reckon,
that would be I wouldn't mind looking like this, this this.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Oh God can imagine you should on my life.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I
