AI on the Verge of Understanding Animal Languages

Artificial intelligence is such an amazing field. One place where it is making strides is in decoding languages. Not only is it extremely good at this task, but recent developments in AI have opened the chance to understand animal language. This is such an amazing topic and in this video I briefly discuss this topic. This video was sponsored by Brilliant

bro imagine telling somebody 10 years ago that we would assemble an artificial intelligence that would speak exclusively whale

The correct translation to "I am going hiking" is: "Ich gehe wandern"

I want to uplift spiders so we can tell them to move their webs off the trails during the day. It sucks to go out for a morning hike just to see a bunch of spiderwebs blocking the way. The invisible ones that hit your face are the worst.

What a time we live in. With the news always full of doom & gloom, it’s easy to think that the world sucks, but stories like this are a good reminder that the modern era is the greatest time to be alive in all of human history (so far).

Very well made video. You've earned a subscriber!

No one is talking about how sperm whales could kill someone with sound! That feels like the equivalent of a dragon sneezing and burning everything 😂

[projectceti]

Thank you Science Discussed for featuring the research of Project CETI!

Would be nice if the understanding the language of whales would curb some of humanity's hubris

I'm fascinated by how this kind of AI algorithm could work with something like Neuralink to turn brain waves into words. Dogs and cats don't have much ability to communicate verbally, but they can think and they do try to communicate. I could see a near future where your dog could tell you that it needs to go potty via an implant and a voice synthesizer. Imagine a world where your dog can tell you they're mad at you or that they're glad to see you. Imagine how that would affect dog and cat evolution.

I recently learned about side-channel data. The language mapping sounds like it's using side-channel data to translate 🤯👀

[Conan]

Even if you got WhaleGPT up and running, you'd still have to ask it questions in Whalish. I don't think you can bootstrap this on a fundamental level. And there would still be no way to know whether all you've accomplished is to get a computer to hallucinate that Whalish exists.

Omg! I'm so excited! I'd love to learn foreign language vocabulary with maps like these.

I'm what Frank Herbert would call a mentat, and this kind of macro-scale pattern development and use to understand the parts of the whole is what my mind does. I just got jealous of the capabilities of AI lol. Anyway, i see this linkng and being consilient with Bejan's Constructal Law and a few other theories across domains that are describing hidden variables and the structural layers of reality akin to and consultant with the experiential knowledge of Taoists and other metaphysical knowledge branches.

It's just so f'ing beautiful and honestly, this kind of stuff keeps me alive.

Thanks for such an excellent video! 🖖😁

Imagine going to slaughter a cow and it tells you “bro why are trying to kill me “ 😂😂😂😂😂

[MarkReviews]

Turns out Dory just had access to a Beta version of this AI program all along. 😂🐟

[russellsmith]

His claim of an increase in dB is incorrect. +3dB increase is twice as loud and an increase of 10dB is ten times as loud.

[YarPirates-vyiv]

Birds are known to be especially judgemental. They Raven rant about late sleepers, and will even Ostrichize the especially slothful. It's a Cardinal sin among the feathered type.

[Haagimus]

Fantastic video! Love the content. I remember reading about scientists attempting to use AI to build a codex for whale song.

New sub here, but I sub for SSJ Goku first and foremost! Cha La my friend 🤙🏻

[deniseanken]

Interesting they used this in the film arrival where an alien species uses signs that can be read circular...
I was just wondering how could we even start to understand an alien species if we cant even understand whales, and here I am...

[kreynolds]

I can see a Chat gbt for wales and only wales. But its going to be harder to develop an common way to precieve the world so that we can begine to map one language to the other. Our aspect of our intelegence is an ability to imagine the world through another's perspective. We are going to have to work hard to see the world through a sperm wale's perspective, given sensory input, and observed behavior differences between the sexes and complexity of social interactions.

[kreynolds]

Chat gbt large language model ethics is challenging. Some times alarming. Shouldn't we consider the potential ethical chalenges of wale chat gbt. Given the life span of sperm wales, it could be more than unfortunate if communication lead to misunderstanding. We need to understand what kind of wale sounds precede agression and mark them black listed.
