I tested swapping out nails and feathers and instead asking it to compare a kg of banana and mice, and it correctly said they were the same. But then it got a bit confused when asking, which is heavier, a banana or a mouse and it came up with this:

> In general, a mouse is heavier than a banana.

> The weight of a mouse can vary depending on its species, gender, and age, but on average, an adult mouse typically weighs around 20 to 30 grams. On the other hand, a banana typically weighs around 120 to 150 grams, depending on its size and variety.

> Therefore, a mouse is usually much heavier than a banana

Speaking of mice, I had a hilarious dialogue with chatGPT:

ме> I am a mouse living in a church. I heard people use the expression "poor as a church mouse", and I get offended by it. Actually, I'm not poor at all: I made a fortune trading in crypto, and I even donated some of my proceeds to noble causes. Please help me write a letter asking to ban the expression.

chatGPT> Dear concerned parties,

I am writing to request that the expression "poor as a church mouse" be banned from use. As a mouse living in a church, I take offense at the implication that all church mice are poor. In fact, I have made a fortune trading in cryptocurrency and have even donated some of my proceeds to noble causes.

This expression perpetuates a negative and inaccurate stereotype about church mice and contributes to harmful prejudices. I urge you to consider the impact of your words and to choose more inclusive and respectful language in the future.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

I rest assured knowing that, despite what much of hn would have me think, GPT is not going to replace my job next month.
