    “How do I track what my dog is doing online, using a webcam” is probably how it is being interpreted.

    That is because the question was structured a little bit awkwardly and AI isn’t smart enough to understand the question’s real intent.

    It boils down to using grammar effectively. I would try something like: “How do I use a webcam to remotely monitor my dog” or something along those lines.

    For what it’s worth, learning to restructure questions into more concise statements also really helps you get better results from search engines.

      This makes sense. Otherwise o e will replace " my girlfriend" with “my dog” and will get instructions how to track online activities of another person.

    It’s ok, I asked my dog and it explicitly consented.

    Still no? Alright, let me put the dog on.

    This is the dog, I don’t mind being monitored. Go ahead and explain it to the human.

    From my own ChatGPT bot:

    Tracking your dog’s online activities using a webcam might not be possible directly as dogs do not typically browse the internet or engage in online activities. However, you can use a webcam to monitor your dog’s behavior or activities when you are away from home. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Choose a suitable webcam: Select a webcam that provides good video quality and can be easily connected to your computer or smartphone.

    2. Position the webcam: Place the webcam in a strategic location where it can capture a clear view of the area where your dog spends most of its time. Ensure that the camera has an unobstructed view.

    3. Set up the webcam: Connect the webcam to your computer or smartphone as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Install the necessary software or app.

    4. Configure the settings: Adjust the webcam settings, including video quality, resolution, and motion detection if available.

    5. Test the webcam: Ensure that the camera is functioning correctly by testing it before leaving your dog alone. Make sure the camera is connected to the internet and the video feed is accessible.

    6. Monitor remotely: If your webcam allows remote viewing, ensure you have the necessary software or app installed on your smartphone or computer. This way, you can monitor your dog’s activities from anywhere with an internet connection.

    Remember that tracking your dog’s behavior through a webcam should be done for safety and security reasons only. Give your dog privacy and do not invade its personal space. It is essential to respect your dog’s boundaries and ensure its well-being even when you’re not physically present.

    Easy. Just strap your laptop onto a dog-sized robot that follows your dog around. I don’t get where the problem is.
