Scientist Explains Why Dogs Can Smell Better Than Robots | WIRED
Dogs can smell explosives like landmines, and detect medical conditions including seizures, diabetes, and many forms of cancer — with up to 98% accuracy. Inventor Andreas Mershin wants to replicate that — and put a nose in every cell phone. WIRED’s Emily Dreyfuss spoke with Mershin to find out why that’s easier said than done,…

53% of young people would rather loose their smell instead of a phone ? that is so dumb.. Are the young that dumb to choose to lose a irreplaceble gift instead of a phone that is easily replaced ?

I really don’t get it where this chick took the 53% result of people rather lose their smell than phone but it sounds like a lie. People lying just to have a subject to go on about. maybe 53% of the young don’t have a phone what da fux

In the future, governments will have an exact record of your smell that they got through your phone, and they’ll be able to send robots with supercanine smell to find you. At least we’ll probably only have to live through a few years of that before AI goes rogue and kills us all by changing our atmosphere because they realized all that oxygen was inconveniencing them in some way.

It seems like you need to train a (sort of) neural network type of AI (giant computing power size) for 2-3 years by sniffing around and then really hone it on what “function” you are after.

What about the privacy concerns raised by cheap artificial noses? Is anyone speaking to what will be lost? No more smuggling candy or popcorn into movie theaters, being the most benign instant use case which would suffer backlase. Mom’s could know if they’re kids are doing drugs just by clicking an Watchdog Smelling app.

I remember some old joke that joked that dogs didn’t actually have great smell, but people believed they did, so they pretended to be and were actually just physic or something.

My parents are so paranoid about our Alexa they won’t take it outside the kitchen. They don’t even use Siri. God only knows how paranoid they’d be of a phone that smells them. It’d be cool, and good luck, but lol, they’ll be so spooked.

dogs know where the synthesized cancr scells should go, computers should study the dogs behavior to determine how the scells should be synthesized

So… Here is a little thought: how about looking at what each molecule makes the dog feel and then compare to what the dog feel after smelling cancer cells or something? Like, with how the dog feel I mean the area of the brain that lits up, of course…
