If A.I. Allowed Us to Talk to Pets, Would You?
A lot of people talk to their pets . . . many have full-on conversations. And some of those people are PERFECTLY SANE. (???)
New research suggests that A.I. might help us communicate with animals, to some degree. So a new poll asked, “If you had a pet, and A.I. enabled you to have conversations with it, how likely would you be to do so?”
Overall, 33% of people would be “very likely” to listen to their pets in this way. Another 29% said they’re “somewhat” interested.
25% of people are NOT into this . . . and another 14% of people aren’t sure. (I don’t blame them for needing a minute, this is a lot . . . especially if you have a house full of bitter cats.)
They say dogs are MAN’S best friend, and even if that’s outdated, maybe that explains this: Men are MORE interested in talking to pets than women. 65% of men said they’re likely to do it, compared to just 58% of women.
Young adults are more intrigued than old folks. 19% of people 65 and older say they want NO PART of this, which is by far the highest of any age group.
