A few colleagues and I were sat at our desks the other day, and one of them asked the group, “if you were an animal, what animal would you be?”
I answered with my favourite animal, and we had a little discussion about it. My other colleague answered with two animals, and we tossed those answers back and forth, discussing them and making jokes. We asked the colleague who had asked the question what they thought they’d be, and we discussed their answer.
Regular, normal, light-hearted (time wasting lol) small talk at work between friendly coworkers.
We asked the fourth coworker. He said he’d ask ChatGPT.
It was a really weird moment. We all just kind of sat there. He said the animal it came back with, and that was that. Any further discussion was just “yeah that’s what it said” and we all just sort of went back to our work.
That was weird, right? Using ChatGPT for what is clearly just a little bit of friendly small talk? There’s no bad blood between any of us, we hang out a lot, but it just struck me as really weird and a little bit sad.
Hahaha, sorry, I know the suspense must be killing you 😂 I said binturong, because they’re my fave animal, and the one time I saw one in real life it just lay around sighing and huffing which is sort of my lifestyle choice too
Awww, it looks like a red panda after crawling out of a tar pit!
She ain’t getting out of no tar pit with that broken wrist.
They so do!!!
They have prehensile tails and their glands smell like popcorn! Apparently, I didn’t shove my face in there to test tbh
- I would be a binturong!
- Why?
- …because they’re cute? Yeah, let’s go with that.
Unfortunately, I did give the glandular answer 😬 you’re telling me you didn’t pick your answer due to glands? What was your answer? 👀
a wise choice
I’m afraid it’s now your turn
I’m really feeling a strong basking shark vibe rn.
Honestly, those guys always gave me the creeps - just the endless voids inside their mouths…
However, they are also exceptionally cool, and huge. They remind me of classical paintings of sea monsters!
Also pretty sure they’re in the seas off the coasts of the UK which is cool, I think we can see them if we’re lucky sometimes!!! Very dopey faces too, they’re cute. Scary, to me, but cute. 😂
