I had no idea this was a thing, but I shouldn't be surprised.
Maybe some people like these alterations, but others of us would prefer to have the option of the original work.
I'm glad I was able to find this show unaltered on internet archive before it was presumably yanked.
They're joking. I don't know what OP is going on about. The character of Bear was always a dog, not a large cat.

It seemed prudent to play along and humor a guy whose handle is 44mkultra69.
In the new AI DLSS version, Bear is an obedient German Shephard with a dense sable coat of golden tan and reddish brown with black-tipped hairs, darker shading along his neck and shoulders, a broad black muzzle and eye mask, dark upright ears, and a thick neck ruff.
But the first time I watched Person of Interest when it was originally broadcast in 2011, Bear was a cantankerous enormous orange Maine Coon with a long, shaggy ginger coat, darker marmalade tabby stripes, a pale cream chin and chest, a heavy neck ruff, tufted ears and paws, a broad square muzzle, and a luxuriant plumed tail.
I think the later DLSS version of Bear as a German Shephard was much better. The original real life Maine Coone version of Bear gave off strong Garfield vibes, and that just didn't fit into the plot as well as the new AI generataed DLSS German Shephard version.
It was flawless DLSS, that actually contributed to the coherence of the plot and overall believability. Walking a Maine Coone around the streets of New York on a leash and attacking criminals on command was just weird for a central character like Bear.
