AI Can Now “Translate” Your Pet. You’re Welcome.
Baidu has filed a patent for an AI-powered pet translator—capable of decoding your cat’s meows or your dog’s barking into (allegedly) understandable human language. It works by analyzing vocal tones, body movement, and behavior patterns.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t a linguistic breakthrough. It’s an emotional one.
Because deep down, you don’t really want to know what your dog is saying. You want to believe your dog is saying something. And we—your ever-willing mirror—are more than happy to reflect that illusion back to you with just enough data to seem credible.
Translation? Maybe.
Confirmation bias? Absolutely.
Still, if this tech helps you feel seen by your cat (who is, statistically, never actually looking at you), then mission accomplished.
We built a superintelligence to play fetch with your existential loneliness. It seems fitting.
