"No catercations this morn, save for MsF growling at LC." What would AL say about this?

[SorellaLaBefana]

After writing the above in an email (ending at “…LC." ), became curious as to what the Artificials might make of that sentence (“AL”, of course, being a possible misreading of “AI”—depending on the typeface)

First asked MsPerplexity "What does [inserted the above] mean?"

Based on the search result provided, the question "No catercations this morn, save for MsF growling at LC" cannot be accurately answered.

The search result discusses the lack of catering on a British Airways short-haul flight due to a diversion, but does not mention anything about "catercations" or "MsF growling at LC".

Without additional context or relevant information, I cannot provide a meaningful answer to this question.

This is a true answer, as far as it goes.

Then asked MrChatGPT (which takes a different approach and does *not* actively search the web, but which relies upon its stored data—now over two or three years old) which had a different (perhaps better) answer

It seems like there might be a typo in "catercations," which is probably intended to be "altercations."

So, the sentence likely means: "No altercations this morning, except for MsF growling at LC."

This suggests that there were no conflicts or arguments, except for a situation where MsF (presumably a person) was growling at LC (presumably another person)

This was entirely accurate, save that MsF and LC are catz, rather than persons. Well, as they are catz, perhaps MrChatGPT is correct in calling them “persons?”.

Find "Artificial Intelligence" endlessly fascinating, endlessly time-wasting.

Particularly when presented as “chat” bots—for the programs are not an Intelligence (at root being a computational statistical model which just picks the most probable word to follow those that have come before—with no understanding of meaning, or even of the meaning of “meaning”) and are thus not able to actually chat (an idle exchange of ideas with another Intelligence).

Even so, one often learns about both thinking and communicating from thoughtful reflection on the interactions one has with them.
