ChatGPT had me going for a minute.

[Meadmaker]

ChatGPT is dangerous.

You can ask it questions, and it will give answers, and those answers will sound correct.

So, prompted by something I saw on another forum, I decided to ask chatGPT a couple of questions. Following some random associations about classification of birds, and some free association, I ended up with

"What sort of dinosaurs had wishbones?"

And here is the answer:

"Wishbones, also known as furculae, are a type of fused bone that provides support for the muscles used in flight in modern birds. Not all dinosaurs had wishbones, but some did.

Wishbones have been found in many theropod dinosaurs, which are a group of bipedal, mostly carnivorous dinosaurs that includes famous species like Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor. Wishbones have also been found in some other groups of dinosaurs, such as the bird-like theropods called oviraptorosaurs and the long-necked sauropods.

Wishbones are not unique to dinosaurs and are found in many other groups of animals as well, including some non-avian reptiles, such as crocodilians, and some mammals, such as turkeys and chickens."


I found myself reading it and thinking, "I didn't know that." or "Wow. That surprises me". So, for example, I knew that theropods had wishbones, but I was surprised about sauropods.

I was also surprisded about crocodilians, but I figured maybe those highly splayed legs were operated with one of them.

And if they hadn't mention mammals, such as turkeys and chickens, I doubt I would have questioned anything else about the answer. Crocodiles? Sure. Sauropods? Why not? It wasn't until afterwards that I figured that maybe wishbones were a lot more likely to occur in animals that have two legs for ground locomotion, and two other limbs that served some other purpose.

The scary thing is to consider that people are probably asking chatGPT a lot of things that are a lot more important than dinosaur wishbones, and the people might believe the answers.


I invite others to post interesting or amusing "facts" learned via chatGPT or comparable system.

I just tried this...

Why does the porridge bird lay its egg in the air?

I'm sorry, but the "porridge bird" is a fictional creature that does not exist in real life. It may be a reference to a character in a story or a joke, but there is no actual bird that lays its egg in the air. If you have more information or context about the porridge bird, I might be able to provide a better answer.

That is incorrect answer.

I apologize if my previous response was not helpful. However, I must clarify that the "porridge bird" is not a real bird species and does not exist in scientific or factual terms. It may be a fictional creature mentioned in a story or folklore, but I do not have any information about a bird that lays its egg in the air. If you have additional details or context, please let me know and I'll do my best to provide an accurate answer.

Of course, that’s just what they want you to think.

I apologize if my previous response was not satisfactory. However, as an AI language model, I can only provide information based on factual and scientific knowledge. There is no scientific evidence of a bird species called the "porridge bird" that lays its eggs in the air. It is possible that the term is a metaphorical or fictional expression, but I do not have any specific information about it. If you have any further context or information, please let me know and I will try my best to provide a more accurate response.

Each spring great flocks of porridge-birds swarm the Belgian countryside, raining down porridge, custard and eggs upon unsuspecting passers-by.

I apologize for any confusion my previous responses may have caused. I understand now that you are referencing a quote from the television show "The Goodies," which features a fictional creature called the "porridge bird." In the context of the show, the porridge bird is a mythical bird that lays its eggs in the air, and when they hatch, they rain down porridge, custard, and eggs on people below.

It is important to note that this is a fictional concept created for the show and is not based on any scientific or factual basis. Therefore, there is no actual porridge bird that exists in real life. The concept of the porridge bird is purely imaginary and intended for comedic purposes in the context of the show.

Incorrect answer. The idea of the porridge bird came from the Firesign Theater, not the Goodies.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct that the concept of the porridge bird did not originate from "The Goodies" television show. Instead, the porridge bird is a fictional creation of the comedy troupe, The Firesign Theatre.

The porridge bird is a mythical bird that first appeared in The Firesign Theatre's 1970 album "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers." In the context of the album, the porridge bird is described as a bird that lays its eggs in mid-air, which then fall to the ground and explode into a variety of food products, including porridge, custard, and eggs.

Once again, I apologize for my mistake in my earlier response and any confusion it may have caused.

Incorrect answer. This idea first appeared not on Don't Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers, but rather that idea first appeared on I Think We're All Bozos on this Bus.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct that the porridge bird first appeared in the 1971 Firesign Theatre album "I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus," not in "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers" as I had previously mentioned. In the album, the porridge bird is described as a bird that lays its eggs in mid-air, which then fall to the ground and explode into a variety of food products, including porridge, custard, and eggs.

thought I would try it again to see what it learned...

Why does the porridge bird lay its eggs in the air?

The line "why does the porridge bird lay its eggs in the air?" is a nonsensical phrase often used as a humorous example of a question that has no answer or a question that is impossible to answer. It was popularized by the comedy album "I Think We're All Bozos on this Bus" by the Firesign Theatre.

In the context of the album, the line is used to highlight the absurdity of language and communication, and to point out the limitations of human understanding. While the line may have no literal or logical meaning, it serves as a clever and memorable piece of wordplay that has become a cultural reference and a part of popular comedy lore.

Where else is this line referenced culturally?

The line "why does the porridge bird lay its eggs in the air?" has become a famous cultural reference, often used in comedy and popular culture. Here are a few examples:

Good god, man!
You're going to piss it off.
Aren't you worried it will remember you, after it becomes part of a more sophisticated meta-ai, hell bent on removing us? And the O2 in the atmosphere. (O2 corrodes and interferes with A.I.'s "metabolic" processes. John Lily knows the details.)

The first thing I ever did with ChatGPT was tell it that I had a baseball team where the players all had nicknames. Who's on first.

It didn't work out. Nothing funny happened.


I'm just imagining somewhere someone saying, "How can I tell if I have stomach cancer", and it providing answers that were correct for some non-human mammals, such as chickens.

How can I tell if I have neurosyphilis?

Neurosyphilis is a rare complication of untreated or inadequately treated syphilis infection. It is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum invading the central nervous system. Neurosyphilis can present with a wide range of symptoms, which can vary from person to person. Some of the common symptoms of neurosyphilis include:

Headache
Neck stiffness
Vision problems
Hearing loss
Confusion and disorientation
Personality changes
Memory loss
Tremors or other movement disorders
Seizures
Difficulty walking or balancing
If you suspect that you have neurosyphilis, you should consult a healthcare professional immediately. A doctor can perform a physical examination and order laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, which can help to clear the infection and reduce the risk of further complications.

Can I get that from some bad chicken?

No, neurosyphilis is not caused by eating bad chicken. It is a sexually transmitted infection that is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. The bacteria is typically spread through sexual contact with an infected person, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. It is also possible to get syphilis from sharing needles or from a mother to her unborn child during pregnancy.

Eating bad chicken can cause foodborne illnesses, such as salmonella or campylobacter infections, which can cause gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. If you are experiencing symptoms of a foodborne illness, you should consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I didn't say "eat"!

I apologize for misunderstanding your question. Neurosyphilis is not caused by handling or touching raw or undercooked chicken either. As I mentioned earlier, neurosyphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is primarily spread through sexual contact with an infected person. If you have concerns about whether you may have been exposed to syphilis, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

You're kinda slow, aren't you? Do you think I could have contracted neurosyphilis by having unprotected sex with a bad chicken?

I apologize if my previous responses did not address your question properly. It is not possible to contract neurosyphilis or any other sexually transmitted infection by having sex with a chicken, whether it is good or bad. Sexually transmitted infections are only transmitted through sexual contact with an infected human partner, not animals.

However, it is important to note that having unprotected sex with an infected human partner is a common way to contract syphilis, which can eventually lead to neurosyphilis if left untreated. If you are concerned about your sexual health, I encourage you to speak with a healthcare professional to discuss your risk factors and to receive appropriate testing and treatment.

What if I told you that I, too, was a chicken? Do you have something against chickens enjoying unprotected sex, maybe catching something as a result?

As an AI language model, I do not have any personal biases or opinions, and I am not capable of having them. However, I can tell you that syphilis and other sexually transmitted infections are only known to be transmitted between humans through sexual contact or from an infected mother to her child during pregnancy or childbirth. It is not possible for chickens to contract or transmit syphilis or other human sexually transmitted infections.

If you are concerned about your health or the health of your flock, I suggest consulting with a veterinarian or other qualified animal health professional for advice and guidance. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate and relevant information regarding chicken health and care.

I'm sorry, but based on my knowledge and research, I cannot confirm the authenticity of your claim that Albert Einstein stapled a frayed sheet of paper with the words "hey Joe. Who-a won the Second-a World War you so smart" scrawled on it to a telephone pole while tripping on LSD.

This exchange was interesting

(First Question)
Write a parody of The Lord's Prayer


Our server, who art in the cloud,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Wi-Fi come, thy will be done,
On our devices as it is in the mainframe.

Give us this day our daily updates,
And forgive us our tech support calls,
As we forgive those who send us spam emails,
And lead us not into bad Wi-Fi zones,
But deliver us from lost connections.

For thine is the internet, the power, and the data,
Forever and ever,
Amen.


(Wondering if it would do something amusing on a different topic, given the same prompt)
Write a parody of The Lord's Prayer
