Here at BirdingPI.com, we’re heavy into leveraging AI. Soon everything will be computer generated, even the bird pictures. (After all, the quality of the content here can’t get much worse.)

Let’s compare commonly available tools for “writing a bar joke with a blue jay, a red-winged blackbird, and a northern flicker.”

Microsoft’s Bing: “A Blue Jay, a Red-winged Blackbird, and a Northern Flicker walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, ‘What is this, some kind of joke?'” [<– actual result]

Open AI’s ChatGPT:

“Q: Why did the Blue Jay, the Red-winged Blackbird, and the Northern Flicker walk into a bar together?

A: Because they heard it was for the birds, and they wanted to wing it with some drinks and a peck-tacular time!” [<– actual result]

‘Real human being:’ “A Blue Jay, a Red-winged Blackbird, and a Northern Flicker walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and tells the Blue Jay, ‘We don’t serve their kind here!'” [<– actual result]

You be the judge!

Greetings, earthling!
