The solution to trigger warnings: PDA presents AI-powered trigger killer app

D

For many people, it started early. Those who were dragged along to Disney's Bambi as toddlers by their parents probably suffered trauma from the callous deaths of innocent mothers and fathers, even if they were deer. Fortunately, the website ‘Does The Dog Die?‘. Indeed, on it you used to be able to check mainly whether a dog would be killed in a particular film. Now it is the place to go for trigger warnings in all possible categories.

That seemed to satisfy for a while, but now the world, and especially that of games, movies and streaming, is full of triggers. This causes lasting damage, and could potentially lead to violent behaviour by - especially - men. That is why there is now good news from Canada. There, PDA has developed the app ‘Dog Survived!’, which allows unhappy endings of animals, whether in Game Of Thrones or Vinterberg's Jagten, are corrected with the help of AI.

So now you can without fear of triggers watching films and series specifically for you stripped of dying animals, screaming babies and exploding planes from good guys. For now, the app only works on your own mobile. Work is under way in collaboration with Antropic on a version that works presonalised with AI glasses, so you'll soon be able to just watch it with friends trigger heavy movies or series you can watch, but the triggers you will be spared.

A pilot version has now been successfully tested by the US Department of War, at the Persian Gulf excursion.

PDA has announced it will make the app available in all app stores from Wednesday.
