"I Wish It Had Stayed Silent" Cries Pet Owner: Sea Anemone Translator Endlessly Plays Neighbor Clownfish's Gossip

The latest AI-powered “Sea Anemone Translator” has transformed a peaceful aquarium into chaos. The translations reveal nothing but malicious gossip: “Has that orange guy gotten fat lately?” “Isn’t the heater particularly harsh on just me?” Users report psychological distress, prompting the developer to promise an emergency “Privacy Mode” update. Meanwhile, the Marine Biology Linguistics Society praised the AI’s accuracy, calling it “perfect down to the gossip’s inflection.”

It was only a few days ago that Tokyo office worker Tanaka-san (pseudonym, 42) began wishing to restore the silence in his living room. Hoping to fulfill his long-held dream of “communicating with pets,” he purchased the much-talked-about new product “AquaLingual V3.” He expected to add new color to the serene symbiotic relationship between his beloved sea anemone “Isoko” and her companion clownfish “Nimoru.”

However, what emerged from the translator was not the mysteries of life or hymns to nature he had dreamed of. The electronic voice monotonously recited a series of harsh criticisms directed at neighbor Nimoru: “Going around the same spot again… so unimaginative,” “That fluttering movement, honestly it’s annoying.” The seemingly peaceful Isoko’s inner thoughts were no different from the gossip exchanged at office water coolers in human society.

“I never imagined our Isoko had such a malicious personality. I feel so sorry for Nimoru, I can’t bear to watch. More than anything, my own mental health can’t take listening to all this badmouthing,” Tanaka told our reporter with an exhausted expression. The aquarium that once symbolized healing has now become a 24-hour gossip channel.

In response to this situation, developer Aqua Voice Inc. commented: “This product employs groundbreaking technology that converts marine organisms’ subtle electrical signals into digital mapping of language areas through deep learning. The fact that its accuracy exceeded expectations is, technically speaking, a major achievement.” Considering customers’ mental well-being, they announced plans to implement “Aqua Privacy Mode” soon, which will mute negative comments about specific subjects. They demonstrated the modern dexterity of declaring technological victory while simultaneously apologizing.

Meanwhile, this incident has created unexpected ripples in academia. Dr. Umiyamakawa, an authority at the Japanese Marine Biology Linguistics Society, praised it enthusiastically: “This is an astonishing achievement. Until now, we thought sea anemone cognition was limited to simple matters of predation and self-preservation. But to discover they engage in such sophisticated social communication as evaluating others! The reproduction of gossip’s characteristic sticky intonation, in particular, has opened new horizons for AI language models.” The society has decided to hold an emergency symposium.

Technological progress sometimes pries open doors to truths we never wanted to know. The translator meant to deepen bonds with pets has ironically presented owners with existential questions. Tanaka ultimately turned off the translator. “Silence is golden, eloquence is silver, and sea anemone gossip is just noise,” he laughed weakly.

Perhaps humanity has opened Pandora’s box. Even if what remained at the bottom wasn’t hope but a sea anemone’s complaints about her neighbor’s weight, we have no choice but to live with it.
