Vegetables and birding. (1 Viewer)

[Arbu]

So I told ChatGPT about my lifelong dislike of vegetables, particularly parsnips, carrot and onion, and it said that that meant that my brain demanded clarity, because these tastes could be a bit "off-tune". And just based on that, it said that it would have guessed that natural environments (especially clean, simple ones like mountains, forests, beaches) would suit me much better than busy, noisy cities or artificial spaces. Which is of course very true, or I wouldn't be a birder. And the only other person I have ever met who professes a similar hatred for vegetables is an extremely keen birder. Obviously the majority of people don't hate vegetables, and most birders won't either. But I'm just wondering if anyone else here feels the same, and that there is indeed something in this surprising idea?

Using AI is like those black balls that would come up with a message for users. Computers are fast and computers may be more precise but they are never to be trusted without verification. Testers have found with the AI engines that they more often than not will guess rather than state that they do not have an answer.

The organically grown vegetables we buy from local farmers are a great deal tastier than what we can find in a supermarket. So much tastier that my wife will drive 30 miles to buy them.

I'm reminded of the Spitting Image sketch in which Margaret Thatcher leads her cabinet into a restaurant and orders rare steak.

"What about the vegetables?" inquires the waiter.

"They'll have the same" Mrs T barks back.

There is one advantage a meat eater has over a vegetarian when birding.
When silently approaching ones quarry, it is important to avoid making unwanted noise.
