Dogsitting machines?
They’ll h... just about anything.
I wonder if cats react similarly, that would be an interesting study.
It’s not nice to try to fool dogs....grrrrrr.
Dog trickery ping!
less chance of fleas
Well there goes the terminator detection system.
I worked with actuaries. This is very believable.
I’ve been reading a good book by Jean Donaldson called The Culture Clash. Really good. She says we really shouldn’t put human emotions on dogs. They are dogs. Love them for what they are, not what you wish they were. They are very selfish animals, which is fine. They will do anything for food.
They’re not ‘socializing.’
Hype sells articles but does not promote truth.
The dog has learned that this dumb thing gives it food. It is not ‘socializing.’
Will we see robot dogsitters one day? Probably yes, but then what good is it to have a dog if you have a metal thing drag it out for a walk?
Living creatures interact with living creatures.
Please, let’s never ever have robot ‘babysitters.’
Well, duh, the robot knows where the food is.
Put some tits on the thing, and I’ll interact with it.
Well they very well might socialize with a food dispenser but no way would they love a robots companionship the way they do with mankind. Dogs love us.
