🚨GOOGLE BUILT AN AI TO TALK TO DOLPHINS So here’s a sentence you weren’t expecting: Google made a dolphin translator. After 40 years of listening to dolphin clicks, squeaks, and underwater gossip, researchers have teamed up with Google to launch DolphinGemma, the first AI trained to understand and speak dolphin(ish). It’s based on 400 million parameters and works like ChatGPT—but instead of answering your questions, it predicts dolphin whistles. Yes, it’s basically ChatFlipper. The model was trained on a massive dataset from the Wild Dolphin Project, which has recorded a single dolphin community in the Bahamas for decades. These aren’t just noises—they’re tied to behaviors like flirting, arguing, and even naming each other. The AI is paired with a modified Google Pixel running CHAT (Cetacean Hearing Augmentation Telemetry), which translates basic concepts like scarf or seagrass into synthetic whistles. The goal? Teach dolphins a shared “vocab” so they can ask for their favorite things. It won’t make you fluent in Dolphin just yet—but it might be the first serious step toward interspecies communication. Coming soon: “SeaGPT.” Source: Popular Science
