lol, definitely missed some important context.

I guess it thought OOP meant “clean” as in how do you dress the bird before you cook it. (As in: “clean a fish” means to filet a fish and prep it for cooking.)

    I rarely remove the label from the fish I catch.

    It's actually illegal to cut those off.

    But first it said they are usually clean. So that can’t be the context. If there was a context. But there is no context because AI is fucking stupid and all these c-suite assholes pushing it like their last bowel movement will be eating crow off of their golden parakeet about two years from now when all this nonsense finally goes away and the new shiny thing is flashing around.

    There are signs of three distinct interpretations in the result:

    • On topic, the concept of cleaning a wild bird you are trying to save
    • Preparing a store bought Turkey (removing a label)
    • Preparing a wild bird that is caught

    It's actually a pretty good illustration of how AI assembles "information shaped text" and how smooth it can look and yet how dumb it can be about it. Unfortunately advocates will just say "I can't get this specific thing wrong when I ask it or another LLM, so there's no problem", even as it gets other stuff wrong. It's weird as you better be able to second guess the result, meaning you can never be confident in an answer you didn't already know, but when that's the case, it's not that great for factual stuff.

    For "doesn't matter" content, it may do fine (generated alternatives to stock photography, silly meme pictures, random prattle from background NPCs in a game), but for "stuff that matters", Generative AI is frequently more of a headache than a help.

    I like the idea that these are scientist-monitored birds that you remove the tag from before dressing and eating.

    This actually happens very frequently in the US. When hunters harvest a bird they report their kills in compliance with hunting regulations. If any of your birds have leg or neck bands you report that information as well. The bands have a tracking number on them, and scientists use them to monitor populations and migration patterns. It's literally part of their plan.

    You get to keep the bands as well (I only have experience with banded geese and ducks). They're a neat memento.

    This is a perfectly logical answer to a hunter.

    I'm going to build a bunch of cyborgs, who follow orders exclusively via googleAI.

    I figure once I release about 4 billion of them into the world, either google stops doing evil shit, or they do REALLY evil shit. We shall see what happens....

    If you asked me to clean a bird, this is exactly what I would think of. Though usually it involves removing lead shot, not labels.

    That is the culinary answer for the question.

    Is it telling steps to cook it

    Fun time to remind everyone that pigeons aren't native to the Americas, and were brought over originally by the French primarily as a food source (although also as messengers; carrier pigeons).

    "Squab" on a menu is pigeon.

    Pigeons are drones (confirmed)

    Pigeon = edible bird

    Cleaning a bird > preparing a bird after killing it (hunting term)

    AI figured the "rescued" part was either a mistake or that the person wanted to eat a bird they rescued

    If you make a research for "how to clean a dirty bird" you give it better context and it comes up with a better reply

    I mean, if they were actually "clean" and had a healthy diet compared to what they eat in urban areas, they could make an awesome protein source for the budget minded.

    Not they could. They do. You can buy squab in restaurants. Maybe stores but none I've seen.
