        TIL what a spotted lanternfly was, they’re an invasive species in many places and are spreading. While they aren’t directly harmful to humans, they can cause a bunch of damage to plants, which include the ones we as humans tend to enjoy being able to eat. They’re considered kill on sight, because many of the places they’re spreading to don’t have predators to keep them in check (on top of the fact that invasive species throw local ecosystems out of whack).

          Ah now that you mention that name a bell rings. Don’t think we have them here which might explain my unawareness. I’ll keep an eye out regardless. Thank you internet stranger.

          hey, no one thought you were a bot. The joke is that the guy didn’t know anything about what you were talking about about so he pretends that he has a friend that is curious and asks you to explain for the friend instead of for himself.

          Like he wanted you to explain to him but he was too embarrassed to asked for the explanation without the fake friend excuse.

            Or maybe that user really is a bot, posting screenshots of a conversation with an obvious bot to throw off the suspicion that it is a bot because the LLM predicted “they think I’m a bot” after feeding in that message.

            See how the obvious LLM labeled contempt as frustration in the 2nd response?

          Lmao this is the dumbest possible response. Your brain has already become soup and LLMs haven’t even been around for very long.

      Yes! One of the few things I will immediately kill on sight. Them and mosquitoes. Wasps are much cooler than people give them credit for, and obligatory “spiders are bros”.
