As Gregr puts it, "If we're going to live in a future where the machines, police, and marketers are using AI to face detect, we might as well use it to detect dogs and then go pet them, right?! Youtuber Ryder Calm Down knows what's up - he's doing just that!"
Basically, Ryder built an AI-powered machine that can detect when dogs are walking by the house, because he read that petting dogs can increase serotonin levels, making humans happier. The device will automatically alert him to the dogs' presence so he can go get some petting in, or if he's away scream at their owners through a bull horn to say he likes their dog.
See what a whole lotta time at home can do? Some pretty cool things, actually. Check out Ryder's channel to set one of these bad boys up for yourself -- and keep opening up that iPhone with your face.
