  • [OT] Dogs saving lives

    I saw this the other day and frankly, I think it has to be fake. Not
    that I disbelieve the idea that dogs can save lives but these particular instances are just a little too magical to believe:

    The way these are presented, the dogs are psychic and can read the
    future: they know that a nearby human is about to have something bad
    happen and move just enough to avert tragedy, just in time. I WISH the
    world really worked this way but I have to admit I'm skeptical....

    There's a lot of AI slop out there now featuring amazing animal stunts.

    I find psychic dogs more plausible than perfectly positioned cameras.
