If they can't get my cat's color right, imagine the errors on more serious topics...

@davidrevoy Too bad people don't know that Garfield is in fact a black cat as well!

@davidrevoy Grok reminds me of this one Swedish childrens movie I saw as a kid where for complicated childrens story reason a poor family decides to pool all their money together and send the dad of the family to the circus, and it's very much implied that he took the money and fucked off to the pub, cus when he gets back he tells them all wonderous tales of all the fantastic things he saw at the circus and the whole ruse comes to a crashing halt when breathlessly describe the air acrobats as actually flying, like levitating off the ground, cus he was very clearly just bullshitting.

@KFears @davidrevoy Are you suggesting that a random bullshit generator might not in fact be great at reliably checking facts? Heresy!

@davidrevoy It's statically more likely, but entirely incorrect, for a witch's cat to be black.

The color of carrots is actually fascinating bit of history. I suspect human selection is the cause of the colour and they are normally very dark purple or white.

David! Where are Carrot's brother and sisters? Also carrots, different colours. 😸

@davidrevoy I think it's called "semantic leakage": you like the colour yellow -> you work as a bus driver. In this case, you are a witch by trade -> your cat is black. Can't wait for the next episode of avian intelligence! 😸

@doctormo @davidrevoy “Dark purple carrot”… that’s a beet. You’re talking beets.

@davidrevoy Pepper Delivery Service ... Black Carrot, of course.

@davidrevoy

Probably Grok: Did you know Metroid is a girl? 🤣

[kimiko_0@wetdry.world]

@davidrevoy "Average witch described has an orange cat" factoid actually just statistical error. Average witch described has a black cat. Pepper, who has an orange cat, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

@davidrevoy I love the "fact checked by Grok" 😂

As it was also written by Grok I guess, the concept of "self fact-checking" is hilarious.

[doctormo@floss.social]

@adriano

Oh sugar, beets are as to parsnips as turnips are to radishes.

@doctormo @adriano It reminds me the refactor I proposed on 1st April 2019, Pepper&Beetroot https://www.davidrevoy.com/article711/production-report-pepperbeetroot-the-dog-refactor 😆

@greenCoder Jiji!

I really have to one day paint a fan-art of Kiki's Delivery Service with Pepper. One of my favorite animated movie ever (easy to guess why).

So cute!

You could run this gag again, it would still work. Especially now with a much bigger fedi.

It simply has a different definition of facts.

[pantarhei@freiburg.social]

@ronaldb66 now you mention it, that actually feels a bit like ”The Real Donald goes Winnie the Pooh“.

… has anyone checked whether Grokipedia ”fact-checks“ Garfield as a black Cat as well?

@davidrevoy I asked for a map of the British Isles with all the countries in different colours and keeping national boundaries.

England had annexed Dumfries and Galloway, and Ayrshire. But Ireland was united.

Made me chuckle until I realised how many people just accept the info unquestionably.

[prayag_suthar@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy awh gahd, the frigging "Grokipedia" search results are such a bother to see, just the name itself is the HUGEST red flag jeezus 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
