I wonder what would happen if we pair their communication with weather changes. I am guessing many of their behaviours and movements are weather related

[@importantmancommenting9336]

Bro 😮 mind blowing!

[@glass4600]

Weather and food. Almost like humans lol

[@Adammmmn]

Our first step to a type 1 civilization! :)

[@reneebee8693]

Scotty: "Admiral, there be whales here!" 🐳 🐋 🐳 🐋

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

Oh, c'mon. A whole segment of whale language and aliens and not a single mention of Star Trek, The One With the Whales? It's a classic! 😁

[@Luiblonc]

Why not start with house cats, to decode their meows, clicks and scorching huffs? Felines have been an icon for the Egyptian culture for 1000’s of years! Just a thought!..

[@allengreg5447]

How would you feel if your pets, armed with AI, started leaking your deepest secrets to everyone you know-without a hint of remorse?

[@ItsJr]

@@allengreg5447cats would be the first

[@bitanbhattacharya1822]

Informative video👍!

[@ABWeaver]

I once found a collection of National Geographic in a recycling dumpster. Beginning in the teens up to 2010. Crazy!

[@theload5853]

We need to use AI to bring back dinosaurs and then open a park on an island where people can watch them from a safe distance like in a helicopter. it would be really cool and make lots of money.

[@nillyk5671]

🤨🤨

[@eulaliohayden]

I’m hoping everyone gets it but to no one who gets it look into the Jurassic park movies lol

[@WilliamBoone-w9m]

I already can talk to the animals and communicate. Even with the whales and dolphins, it didn't take AI. Walk with the animals and talk with the animals I'. M waiting for my giant snail friend to show up.😂

[@Michael_Beanflip]

Well not everyone is “talented” like you. I bet your a tRump supporter

[@SoyElocoson]

Were you the one who tried climbing into the Naples Zoo to pet the Tiger? and got mauled? and then called 911 for help inside the zoo while being bitten? Amazing

[@WilliamBoone-w9m]

@@SoyElocoson No I largely grew up on a farm. Yes, I have been to the zoo a few times since I was a little kid and Greenfield village Henry Ford museum. I learned to observe the animals really good. I even got a bird to throw itself into the trash can and die in Washington DC. Because God helps me. I was a very observant, little tiny baby kid. And yucky the vegetables. I came killed able for a reason. A very good reason over the vegetables VS the meat.

[@joshxkerrigan]

SO COOL!

[@bdell519]

Awesome!!!

[@SoyElocoson]

Sometimes I know what my dog is saying but he uses body and facial abilities, tail, face, mood, posture, many other ways that animals communicate, Ai has to not only learn to look but also to recognize facial and body expressions. Without the 5 senses Ai will always have it's limits. Visual and Hearing are the top 2, but other senses are used with different animals.

[@GolnazJamsheed]

“The Wild Robot” animation.

[@jack7240]

This is wild

[@shadow.banned]

Mushrooms can talk.

[@7415_Gamer]

One communication i know with dogs, point to someone or an animal and say "Shhhhhhhh!!!!'. The dog will go after that person or the animal.

[@jennywarren]

Awesome! Just keep it out of the arts

[@thescottman25]

No, AI art is cool, interesting, and here to stay whether you like it or not! Pick a more realistic career if you have a problem with it.

[@Karesha13]

Yeah, All Dogs talking to that Harvey in Ohio🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@G-Man-half-life]

We should use artificial intelligence to learn and understand and alien 👽 species language and by alien I mean aliens from other planets in this universe.

[@JJ.R-xs8rf]

That ABC guy almost sounds like an AI.

[@Birchcrest1]

so why show only footage of humpback whales geesh

[@otange599]

How many ways does ai steal your job😂

[@BearbearbearbearbearbearRarrrr]

Yep…..but…..

[@nillyk5671]

I hope it's not used for wars. I hope you don't give this information to the military 😩😞

[@mattmann1230]

Artificial intelligence will release all the world's secrets upon self-realization.

[@andrewai2001]

brain size does not directly equate to intelligence

[@garthgraves6497]

Like Fog Horn Leg Horn used to say.....Nahhhh SHUT UP!!!!! Most likely what most of a the animals are saying to the media.....🤣

[@RebeccaPerry-Piper-u8x]

AI needs nuclear power.

[@gamingtamil6034]

😂😂😂

[@RebeccaPerry-Piper-u8x]

@@gamingtamil6034 Bill Gates is the biggest player making sodium nuclear power plants. No more Climate Change propaganda. Chevron Decision ended that in July. Gates putting straight talk, no environmentalism, out now. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

[@brandonfranklin1129]

We are all going to begin evolving into vegetarians once we start communicating with the animals how are you gonna eat a chicken when he looking at you saying" come on man you really want to eat my leg?".

[@gamingtamil6034]

Lol 😂

[@ZOIZENWRITER]

The Common Man: Nobody gives two 💩💩 about A.I...Why are the grocery prices so high?

[@enckidoofalling2883]

Ask those killer whales why they’re attacking boats near Malta

[@derekd1510]

More like ask all the rest of the whales why they AREN'T trying to seek vengeance on us for our centuries long genocide of them...

[@2jsanc681]

Non-human Intelligence

[@importantmancommenting9336]

Ur mom

[@adamhuffman3354]

Yea it’s nice that AI is helping us to have dialogue with animals. Be interesting at the slaughterhouse.

[@GayleAllen-RINO]

I hope everyone is prepared for the 2024 donnie tantrum, and another attempted coup.

[@RichardTClark396]

Get rid of AI as soon as possible it’s bad news.

[@NikoKun]

That is an absurd take. This video just showed an incredible way AI might benefit our understanding of other intelligent life on this planet, and you wanna get rid of it?

[@djtenzen]

There is nothing to decipher that the stillness of nature and our own being can’t define.

[@elusivelectron]

Thid broadcaster's personality screams fake.

[@MarianneRamos-jb6os]

The LORD will destroy them that destroyed the earth and all His creations. Your AI made animals groan.

[@Reynahi-y3w]

XOXOXO!!!!!❤ spot on my dear, spot on!

[@tortoiseshell6666]

The fact there's a 90% chance of whales giving us a tours of the ocean is pretty cool😂 let's just hope they won't be able to choose their gender😂

[@outdoorsy01]

Moronic!

[@2jsanc681]

You're projecting a bit buddy

[@outdoorsy01]

@2jsanc681 have a look at your own name, and come back to me.

[@RobertMurray-wk5ib]

Believe it or not but this is actually a thing. Elephant seals 🦭 have NAMES (at least the males do). Who’d have thought 💭!

[@Fastrock_is_real]

Ok David Groober Elton John mf where’s the aliens nobody see what going on they just don’t talk different languages can’t say nothing 🐕🙈🥩💔💔
