RE: Six lessons from backyard wildlife walks in the month of March
When I asked Claude to identify one in a picture, it told me that the silver feathers under the wings are a good marker for Turkey Vultures. I said they're not silver, they're white, and showed it a different picture. Then it said the bird had a rare disease, and I should report it to the local birding community. So, I did.
But then, ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini all threw water on the fire and said, "Nah... that's perfectly normal. It's actually a good way to identify them."
I'm curious. What will they do after receiving the report?
They won't do anything special. It's still good data on the sighting, so the observation will stay there - available to researchers. It's just not the exciting "rare" observation that Claude thought it was.
