"deckard" (Director's Cut)  @eldaking so, parrots can actually learn context along with the words. It's how they recognise that saying "biscuit" leads to them getting a treat etc @Faunabubbles @eldaking Yep absolutely. My mom grew up in South America, and there was a wild parrot that liked to tease the yard dog by imitating the commands the parrot had learned by observing how the humans interacted with the dog. @tauli @Faunabubbles @eldaking Birds are smarter than people think. Not only parrots. There are several species that learn phone ringtones and seem to be amused when they tease people and make them search for their phones. @eldaking You are dissing parrots. It has been well-documented that some parrots very much do understand what they are saying. Alex, an African Grey, was perhaps the best known example. @eldaking I'm sure there's some sort of polynomial joke to be had here, but I'm damned if I can find it. |
@eldaking when AI becomes cutie birdie parrots... the machines will truly have won
