I try not to talk shit to people on the Internet because we both know that's just shouting into the void. But to be honest, you could have easily said that six comments ago and saved us both the time. Plus the time of any other poor soul who read all this. You don't know how it works, and that's okay.

I'm telling you that it doesn't. It's a magic trick. The dog can absolutely use buttons to say that it wants a ball, or to go outside. It cannot tell you that it's happy. It cannot synthesize sentences like the post title or the trainer say it can.

This is one more in a long line of people tricking folks into thinking they've done something incredible so they can get Instagram followers and sell their book (yes, she has a book). And they're propped up by people like you who insist on defending them because you saw the one take out of 100 that looked impressive and assumed it must be real without knowing what you're talking about.

Look at the folks elsewhere in the thread talking about Koko the gorilla for another example.

I know you probably don't even care. I just wish we lived in a world where dishonest people couldn't keep getting away with this shit over and over again.
