    Intent matters, and methods matter.

    pretty much agree, it’s not like she’s conditioning him to sounds CLICK-CLICK good boy…

      Though there’s probably a significant amount of people on lemmy who would be into actually that.

        You can absolutely condition me into doing whatever you want by cracking open a beer next to me

          I brought a six pack to a final exam in grad school (take the test in the same state in which you study, right?) and people around me perked up and almost literally started drooling when I cracked the first one.

          Edit: no, we engineering students don’t have drinking problems, you have a drinking problem!

          Is it really the ‘good boy’ part, or just the validation? Because I could say the same thing about ‘good boy,’ AND about every other compliment doled out to me once every few months.

            At this point, many contexts will make me feel weird when I’m called a good boy. And specifically good boy.

            Thanks, weirdo AI for ruining me.
