Not just a few words. They can form full, coherent self referential sentences.
In one of the videos Bunny uses assistive buttons to ask who she is after she looks in the mirror.

- jart 4y agoCan you link to that video?
- henriquemaia 4y agoI'm not OP. But I think I've found it. Quite interesting: https://youtu.be/vLD7GIc8kZQ?t=96 https://youtu.be/vLD7GIc8kZQ?t=96
- expensive_news 4y agoI’m skeptical of this. This sounds similar to the way Koko “learned” sign language. While this video is long, it explains the controversy very well: https://youtu.be/e7wFotDKEF4 https://youtu.be/e7wFotDKEF4
- OJFord 4y agoOr even worse, I'd like to at least see the buttons get jumbled up, and the dog realise it's wrong and find the new location of what it wants to say. And then it would still suffer from potential human over-interpretation, finding meaning where there isn't, as described in the Koko video you linked.
- vidarh 4y agoIt's worth being skeptical, and a lot of the Instagram/YouTube animals that "speak" clearly do nowhere as well as their owners suggest. But look at more of Bunny's videos. Some of the interpretations are fanciful (a pet peeve of mine is the "love you" interactions where there's little reason to think the "love you" means more than "I want attention"), but there are enough of fairly complex interactions that I think it's unreasonable to dismiss it entirely.
- vimy 4y agoThis video is pretty convincing: https://youtu.be/6MMGmRVal6M https://youtu.be/6MMGmRVal6M
