Squawk bots: Can generative AI lead us to understanding animals?
We should approach animal intelligence and communication with humility.<p>A lot of it is based on smell, body language, and signals we don&#x27;t pay attention to. I don&#x27;t think any animal has been shown to tell stories, but obviously they share information in other ways. Only a handful of individuals have demonstrated some kind of ability to understand a story (macaws and koko the gorilla).<p>For anybody interested in animal intelligence, that&#x27;s the focus of my newsletter.
