    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.)

        Well obviously not for fish. Sounds like someone’s never bought fresh pigeons from the grocery store, smh.

          I thought it was only illegal for the stores to cut those off. Like it was some kind of consumer protection thing. Which was back in the 70s, we don’t get that kind of thing anymore.

      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.

      What the fuck are you talking about? Stop apologizing for AI, you clown.

      Do you remove the “label” in step one of cleaning a fish? Please, tell us all where that is.

    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.

    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.

      I think it took note of it being about rescue pigeons and assumed they would have a tag on them and then gave cooking directions for them

    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

      The context is clear to a human. If an LLM is giving advice to everybody who asks a question in Google, it needs to do a much better job at giving responses.

        I don’t think they are really “making excuses”, just explaining how the search came up with those steps, which what the OP is so confused about.

        I thought AI was great at picking up context?

        I don’t know why you thought that. LLMs split your question into separate words and assigns scores to those words, then looks up answers relevant to those words. It has no idea of how those words are relevant to each other. That’s why LLMs couldn’t answer how many "r"s are in “strawberry”. They assigned the word “strawberry” a lower relevancy score in that question. The word “rescue” is probably treated the same way here.

    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.

      Google may not have enabled them in your region. Here in the UK they just appeared for me one day, a few months after I initially saw screenshots of them online. I didn’t do anything to enable them.

    They taste a lot like beef.

    You take the breasts and fry them on olive oil with a little bit of garlic and soy sauce. Delicious.

      I mean I’m fine with just looking at them roosting on the ledges of buildings, but I guess people will do a lot if they’re hungry.
