ChatGPT saved the dog: the guy shared on Twitter the story that happened to him and his pet Sassi.

The veterinarian was unable to correctly diagnose Cooper's animal and offered to just wait. Saved by a blood sample: the owner threw the results of the analysis into the neural network and asked what kind of disease it could be. After the standard excuse "I'm a neural network, not a veterinarian", ChatGPT suggested that the dog had immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. With this diagnosis, Cooper went to another doctor, who confirmed the assumption of the neural network. Now Sassi is completely healthy and everything is fine with him.

The smell of sweat helps in the treatment of social phobia.

The emotional state of a person affects the chemical compounds released by his body. These compounds have a certain smell that others can smell and react to them in a certain way. Perhaps the success of the treatment is determined by those substances that are contained in human sweat always, and not at certain emotional moments. The authors also suggest that the mere physical presence of another person nearby can have the same effect as the presence of bodily odors.

Scientists have created "nano-ink" that regulates the temperature in the premises.

The innovative ink uses nanotechnology to control temperature. They achieve this by adjusting the amount of radiation that can pass through them depending on external conditions. Passive climate control will provide comfortable living conditions without unnecessary energy consumption. For example, in winter, paints can automatically let in more solar radiation during the day and retain heat better at night, and vice versa in summer. The ink can be sprayed or added to paints and building materials. They can also be added to extreme temperature-regulating clothing or electronic devices.
