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

@davidrevoy Il y a une faute de frappe dans "grok", il manque le "on" à la fin.

@davidrevoy
That's a good example of what "AI" really is: Predictive text.

"A witch and her ... cat" - what's the most statistically likely word to go there?

@davidrevoy Grok can’t put a cat in a bikini, so it’s of no interest.

@keeya Yes, it can be an evidence this 'encyclopedia' hallucinate information by regressing to the mean statistically since witch+black cat is a common trope.

@davidrevoy well, funny that. AI facial recognition has already wrongly identified suspects despite the person being arrested looking nothing like the actual suspect.

at least grok realised the cat is a cat! /s

@Stem lol. Bravo!

@davidrevoy The writer of a biography of a person close to our dog, Bruno, described Bruno as "black". And they did meet Bruno while writing the biography. I stopped fact-checking that book after some 20 pages.

@davidrevoy "Fact checked by Grok" is probably the most radioactive statement in 2026, right after "has visited Epstein island".

I do gotta say: your comics are very fun!

@davidrevoy
maybe they talk about her clothing

@davidrevoy I don't know what's more frightening: That there's a Grokipedia or that it's about as useful as you'd expect.

@davidrevoy I’d be more worried about seeing a naked Pepper since that might be illegal to have on my screen.

@davidrevoy Yeah sure, let the AI fact-check things and a blind person paint your house
(Just in case to be clear, this is not directed at you David)

@leeloo @davidrevoy Was just gonna write this - clearly David is statistically incorrect

@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.

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

@adriano @davidrevoy

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!

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org witches are always associated with black cats :V

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