I'd follow the Dr. Lily program and take a bunch of LSD and hire some gal to whack em off. If nothing else, we'll get some Pollock knockoffs.

Then they graduate to DMT and pegging
And Hieronymus Bosch
Singing and Rock Gardening/Object Arranging would probably be the first route to go.
I had a band back in the '60s that had a dolphin as a singer. Called the "10 Meters Off The Beach Boys"
The fuck, I've been looking forward to this for like my whole life, literally whales and cetaceans language being translated, and I totally missed the fact that someone in Iceland figured it out already?
Was there zero freaking announcements of us discovering intelligent language from animals?
That sounds like a joke article.
it is, whoops.
i know they've been studying dolphin with AI for a while now and grabbed the first article because I thought this announcement was real.
now I'm pretty confused, I guess the joke article is satirizing like one step further than the actual progress they've made with translating cetacean languages.
AFAIK, we have managed to translate some words we taught them, meaning they're capable of learning new words and using them.
You're referring to the parody story. The real thing did happen, just much more recently and being a much less exciting process.
oh, they've been studying dolphin language with AI for so long, I just grabbed the first article.
so who actually discovered it?
isn't the process the same? they used AI to analyze dolphin sounds? I know they've been doing this for cetaceans for a while now.
They have. It's a team effort pioneered by Denise Herzing and is half-way to its end. It's not like we discovered anything that parallels us though, the small-talk the team has studied with is more like "my name is X" or "let's hunt that fish" or "I'm bored", basically tamagotchi levels of communication and only just enough to get some ideas.
I'm only semi-jokingly putting forth the assertion that those limited sentences are mostly "us".
thank you for the link.
Who knew the secret to learning these things was having a TikTok account
plus familiarity with using shitty AI voices.
That's how people know you're a journalist.
synchronized swimming
If you want a more serious answer than my LSD statement, the obvious answer is synchronized swimming and bubble tricks
Dance, and music. It could probably be argued that dolphins already dance and don't need any extra encouragement. I bet a dolphin would love to play with a sound board that could play tones when buttons are pushed. Object arrangement, like someone else said. Sand patterns maybe. They can also interact with things out of the water too so painting isn't so ridiculous, they just don't have the dexterous appendages that elephants or chimps do.
Mosaics.
Jam band. Dolphins love Phish.
I’ll show myself out.
