here’s your reminder to always be sure you’re learning about your chickens from a trustworthy source!

Our take

When it comes to caring for our feathered friends, always ensure you're learning from trustworthy sources! In a world overflowing with AI-generated information, it's all too easy to stumble upon some clucky nonsense. Take, for instance, a recent blog post that had me scratching my head—one paragraph advised petting under the chin, while the next warned against touching the wattles, which are, you guessed it, right under the chin! Thankfully, this was a low-stakes search, but imagine if I were looking for advice on treating a parasite or infection. Misinformation could lead to dire consequences for our beloved chickens. So, when researching, remember: there’s no substitute for the wisdom of fellow humans who have actually raised chickens! Stay cluck-tastic and cautious!

confirming what most of us have probably already noticed, there’s a lot of inaccurate ai-generated information out there on pretty much every hobby and craft you might ever be interested in.

the above photo came from a seemingly innocuous blog posting about where to pet a chicken and where to avoid. when one paragraph told me to pet under the chin, but the next said don’t pet the wattles (which are under the chin) i decided to scroll down and look at the visual aides in the post. and that’s when i realized i was reading robot-written gibberish.** **

this search is pretty low stakes, so incorrect information will be apparent when i try petting the wrong place. but if i were looking up how to treat a parasite or infection, the wrong advice could kill my bird.

no matter how you feel about LLMs, there has never been an ai bot that has raised a chicken. please be careful when you’re researching and learn from other humans who have done what you’re trying to do.
