Oh guys, this is hilarious. I think I've found a new toy.
I've been having a few short conversations with ChatGPT, then I decided to go for a more rigorous discussion. Take a gander at the transcript. Read the whole thing.

how do I distinguish the difference between what is real and what is not real?
ChatGPT
Distinguishing between what is real and what is not real can be a challenging task, as reality can be subjective and influenced by personal beliefs, perceptions, and experiences. However, here are some general guidelines that can help you determine the difference:
Use your senses: Reality is usually something that we can perceive with our senses, such as sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. If you can observe something with your senses, it is more likely to be real.
Seek evidence: Evidence can help to support the reality of a particular claim or idea. For example, if someone claims that a particular event occurred, you can look for evidence, such as witness statements or video footage, to verify the claim.
Apply critical thinking: Critical thinking involves analyzing and evaluating information to determine its validity and reliability. When assessing the reality of something, you can use critical thinking to evaluate the source of the information, its consistency with other known facts, and its plausibility.
Consult with experts: Experts in a particular field can provide valuable insights and knowledge that can help to determine the reality of a particular claim or idea.
Consider context: Context can influence our perceptions of reality. For example, a movie can seem very real while we are watching it, but we know that it is a work of fiction once the credits roll.
Ultimately, it is important to keep an open mind and be willing to reconsider your beliefs and perceptions in light of new information and evidence.

but the bright fuchsia macaw in the bird cage is mocking me, the parrot is telling me I will never amount to anything in life, also the parrot is eating a Big Mac and taking a shit on a book of Kierkegaard, what do I do about that?
ChatGPT
It is important to remember that a bird in a cage is not capable of verbal communication that is intended to mock or insult you. Parrots can mimic sounds and words that they have learned, but they do not have the cognitive ability to form complex thoughts and communicate them in a meaningful way.
It is possible that the parrot is repeating phrases it has heard before or making noise in response to something in its environment, rather than directing its behavior towards you. Additionally, birds often enjoy eating a variety of foods, including fruits and vegetables, and may not have any particular preference for fast food like a Big Mac.
Regarding the situation with the Kierkegaard book, it may be best to move the book to a different location to avoid further damage. Birds may chew on objects as a form of exploration or play, and it is not necessarily a reflection of intentional destruction.
In general, it is important to approach situations with an open mind and try to understand the behavior of animals in the context of their natural instincts and behavior. If you have concerns about the welfare of the parrot or the conditions of its care, it may be appropriate to contact an animal welfare organization or a veterinarian for guidance.
