As a pet parent, I’ve learned about cat communication and can communicate better on my own with my cats through research on cat behavior, body language, and vocalization’s in the past 18 years… and I was hoping CatTranslator would seem to prove at least partially decent with this AI… but it did not so far. I’m not even sure that this AI would know the difference between a stress purr and a happy purr, or even the difference between chittering to mimic prey and a greeting to a person. I even tried using good voice inflection and tone, but to no avail. The AI is not very well trained yet, it would seem.
I understand it’s hard to be aware of the situation and body language that help decipher what cats are trying to say, but perhaps also offer some educational info on how cats completely communicate with a mix of vocals and body language and situation (to help someone understand why, for example, a purr can mean several different things)… so that even if AI fails, pet parents can still learn how to communicate better.
