But when she goes there, she bows her head in what I took as shame.

Like some sort of shame that she's not able to.

So I asked the AI this morning, you know, is this shame?

Is this dog experiencing shame or am I putting human emotion on the dog?

That's what that means?

Mm-hmm.

What do you think the AI said?

That's exactly what the AI said, that the dog's not showing you shame, but while putting its head down and kind of softening the eyes, tail between the legs is saying, like, I'm ready to be scooped up.

Right.

I'm not fighting you on this.

Yeah, I thought that was really interesting.

Yeah.

Why do our animals have different, like, as humans, we've been interacting with dogs for a very long time.

If I see that as shame, why would nature not make that shame?

So those you think can feel shame?

Yeah, it said something like for the dog to have shame, the dog would have to be kind of self, like looking at itself going and thinking.

Yeah, a level of self-awareness.

But the AI also acknowledged that if your dog, let's say you have one of these dogs that gets into the trash when you're not home.

And the dog knows it shouldn't get into the trash when you're not home.

And then you show up at home and there's trash all over the place and the dog is hiding in the corner.
