I was watching a video on orangutans and it made me wonder how well google would handle this question.
Didn’t get it quite right… But maybe it’s a subtle dig?
Note: I accidentally scrolled the “AI Overview” notation off before taking the first screenshot, but it is there:
I tend to think of “inculsion in the same taxonomical category” as a fairly close relationship. this is ambiguous wording, nothing more.
I disagree. If you say “oranges are closely related to citrus fruit” you’re implying they’re not citrus fruit. It’s not ambiguous.
But… I can see the difference with “great apes” in the colloquial sense.
However, I changed the question to “What are the great apes scientifically” and it still left humans off, and this time didn’t even mention humans.
I think that is outright, unambiguously, incorrect. (And ChatGPT agrees fwiw, though it left bonobos off the list, so… <shrug>)
Uh. It’s subtle but idk i think you might be more right than I gave you credit for at first. I still don’t think it’s a good example of what you’re shooting for in this c/ but I see your pov.
