I entered "do ants break coriander seeds into 4 parts?" in Copilot (Microsoft's version of ChatGPT) and got the response:
"Indeed, ants exhibit fascinating behaviors when it comes to seed manipulation. While it’s common for ants to break apart larger food items into smaller, more manageable pieces, the case of coriander seeds adds an intriguing twist. Scientists were initially surprised to discover that coriander seeds stored in ant nests were broken down into four pieces instead of the expected two halves. Upon closer examination, researchers observed that ants meticulously break down collected coriander seeds into these four parts1. This unique process serves a purpose: it prevents germination, setting coriander apart from other seeds manipulated by these industrious insects. The intricacies of ant behavior, such as their handling of coriander seeds, remind us of the interconnectedness of life and the wisdom embedded even in the smallest corners of the natural world. Whether one leans toward the concept of an Intelligent Creator or a result of cosmic accident, the ant’s precision in seed manipulation invites us to explore the depths of natural intelligence" Well. The only source it gave for that claim was a blogpost with no scientific citations. I then asked CoPilot: "what evidence do you have for this claim?" And got: "I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. Upon reviewing the available information, I realize that I made an error. There is no scientific evidence specifically supporting the claim that ants break coriander seeds into four parts. I appreciate your attention to accuracy, and I apologize for any misinformation. In reality, ants exhibit diverse behaviors when handling seeds, and their actions can vary based on the species of ant and the type of seed. While some ants may break seeds into smaller pieces for storage efficiency, the specific behavior of breaking coriander seeds into four parts remains unverified. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I appreciate your commitment to factual accuracy! If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask" Yes, creationist dishonesty can infect artificial intelligence
