So, I am a lifelong dog owner, to some extent, either by association because we had them growing up, or now that I've got a beautiful one-year-old adolescent, well, he still acts like a puppy, so I'm going to call it a puppy, and it is a mix, a rescued street dog in Greece, an ancient breed called Kokoni. Anyway, I digress. What I'm wondering as we are talking about various types of tech and so on, I have not really ever even considered this a reality because I am absolutely head over heels for animals and particularly dogs. But in the general public, what are your opinions on tech replacing animals. Now first of all what would that look like? I mean since the early 2000s or even 90s I reckon we've had these toy robot dogs and cats and so on furbies you name it there's been some sort of equivalent in toy form. What about serious tech form? Do you think we'll have a Roomba that is there's basically a pet that you can talk to and train do you think that we're gonna have fully fledged robot dogs maybe the way you see it in Kingsman when you've got guard dogs who are fully mechanic I'm very curious because I have actually never discussed this with anyone ever because I've just know it's never come up so I'm wondering what your take on this is.

Yeah it's a great question if he's into some of the other questions that have been posed about whether or not AI and robots can ever mimic adequately for example human emotions are in this case we're talking about you know animal emotions and companions

No I don't think you know that now I just know I just can't even put them to work just now

Look I've seen animatronic seals and dogs be using care homes to comfort in a lonely old people I don't see why it couldn't be done if done well enough to confirm provide someone a pet without the

Yes, nice to listen. Then she started talking about your dog. should do another sound **** about your dog.

I don't think it's going to take them over except for those cold families who just do not want to take care of another being or like I think that would be good for people who leave their dog outside all day all night all year round because they shouldn't be pet owners so I actually hope they make them super cute and furry and so that way those people who shouldn't own animals or have it excuse me how the animals would get those instead but for real

I think it's interesting with tech you know because it's like are we gonna actually be able to replace humans or animals like fully and get all the benefits that those things have in our everyday lives and right now like I see it very far from happening but even if it was to happen it is kind of scary to think about.

No, but I hope I can get a hot Alexa girlfriend in the future

If anything I feel like there's gonna be stuff to where the dog walk it's so forward they can play fetch by yourself because humans are just gonna be lazy but I don't think they're gonna start making like robot dogs and cats that's kind of overwhelming because people people like dogs I don't think they're gonna lie just replace them with robots

Oh I want to say honestly I think I think I'll rather it with technology or I mean like prefer that more because I actually cherish my pets and animals a lot so I actually think that I'd rather use my car instead then like you know a horse or something because I want to give them like a great life and I love animals so much so

I don't think tack or place what like warm like animals can bring
