I used ChatGPT to get inside my dog’s head — and now I’m slightly afraid she’s smarter than me

We all joke about what dogs would say if they could talk. Usually, it involves food, other dogs, or loud complaints about the audacity of squirrels. But your favorite AI chatbot might have some idea as to what your dog is thinking, at least if you ask it right.

No, ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude haven't been trained in canine neurology, exactly. But they can take your descriptions of what your dog just did and spin them into a believable narrative of its thinking. And that's without reimagining the canine as a human.

It might not be as good as the pig-translation AI under development, but ChatGPT (let's pick that one for now) is surprisingly good at reconstructing plausible interior monologues from behavior descriptions. The AI can take your report of canine antics and translate them into dog-brained logic.
