Cute story, not that’s not how crows behave. They immediately distrust any random human who interacts with one of their dead in any way, and they share their knowledge of who they dislike with their offspring for generations.
They also wouldn’t think to bring a flower in particular but would instead bring something of significance to them, such as a shiny object, a nice rock, or some other random small thing.
I’ve been feeding my local crows roasted peanuts for a couple of years now. They’ve never given me shit as a present, ungrateful little bastards. One time I thought they left me a little cluster of seeds and berries as a present and I was happy, but then I realized one of them just puked that up so he could eat the peanuts.
Haha maybe it was a threat.
“We remember how you mocked Old Joe’s body with flowers.”
Fucking crows are too smart. They have trained me to leave them sunflower seeds in return for alerting me anytime someone approaches my house. Fuckers.
I would love to give them sunflower seeds.
My cousin had a tame crow who he had fixed a broken wing on and it just moved into the barn and never left. He would stand in the driveway and bellow HELLO at anyone who pulled in, and then demand you feed him some muskmelon. Eventually he got cataracts and the local veterinary university program offered to remove them, he lived like twenty years. Funny bird.
Other people: Awww, the crows are wholesome.
Me: It’s a death threat. They saw you put the flowers next to the deceased, so they imply the same will happen to you.
It took me longer than I’d like to admit to realize it was not a cow.
It’s definitely a threat. We’ll do you like you did our cousin. Sleep with one eye open, human.
I tried to befriend 3 crows that are always in my yard. This past winter, I put a packet of large nuts out for the 3 that are always there. The next day there was a crow staring in my bedroom window at me. So I put more out. Later that afternoon, a mob of crows were in my yard. My driveway and car was covered in poop.
Task failed successfully?
That crow didn’t die of natural causes, it was a murder
I’ve always want to make some crow friends
Apparently the trick is when you see some drop food near them, and the more they see you do it the more they associate you with good things.
That’s true with people too
Haha it is.
That crow’s name? Albert Einstein 🤯
Whats so cute …? They were Turing to kill you …😏

Found the bot.
I think the Turing test is flawed; eg. ChatGPT playing the part of a doctor is more likely to be empathetic than a real doctor.
The question isn’t whether computers can act like humans; the question is can we.
