Very cool. Side note: bark-gpt.com is already taken for a dog translator: "The world’s first AI powered, real-time communications tool between humans and their furry best friends."[0] I only know this because my law firm partner's name is Bark, and I wanted to automate some legal work and name the software "Bark GPT" after him.

This is an April Fool's joke[1] and really good! We're doing this for real: https://sarama.app.

I want to see the training set for this

Woof!

Honestly you need to annotate datasets for barks and we're building this up with our users. Otherwise it's unclear what's happening even with video (we tried to build a YouTube/Instagram scraper and it was very unreliable even with vet tech annotations).

Usually I can tell whether something is a parody/joke website, but here I am struggling.

It's genius idea. As long as you tell owners what they want to believe their pet says, those guys will make a fortune.

I already know when my dogs needs to eat, drink, shit or pee or go for a walk or play because he usually will tell me.

Choosing to ignore your dog won't change because some magical AI can now translate it to -Im fine, Im only barking because you're an awesome being, keep your subscription humaaan-

But can your dog (translator) say "I love you?" In a doggy-voice? Replika proves people will pay for this and convince themselves it's real, because they want it to be.

Bark-GPT's VC pitch: "Replika for real dogs"

your app is in a bad place when fraud is a part of your pitch don’t you think? …
