Ask HN: Use GPT-3 to make dogs talk while taking into account their mood?

The idea is to make your dog talk by having it wear a computer that uses GPT-3 like technology that takes as input what you say and how your dog is currently behaving to make up relevant replies.

Imagine having a conversation with your dog about politics in a way that takes into account the current mood and behavior of your dog.

Would this idea be feasible?

two problems: 1. GPT3 is used to generate text, if the input is what you say it isn't your dog's reply, is it? 2. your dog still lacks understanding of human language, or concepts of politics, it will not be able to interact with your questions in a meaningful way in the first place to give any input to such AI.

what you could do is try to translate dog behavior, but the dog will have to learn this language as well, so there's no magic "stick this chip to your dog's head and discuss about the meaning of life" kind of solution.
