"As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly..."

Check with ChatGPT Please

 Arthur Carlson could have avoided the horrible situation of the Pine Dale Shopping Mall disaster simply by checking with ChatGPT.  Or Jennifer.  Or Andy, or Bailey, or Venus, or Johnny.  Probably not Herb or Les.

Here's how that could have gone...

Me:  Hey ChatGPT, can turkeys fly?

ChatGPT;  Wild turkeys are capable of flying, but they can only fly short distances at relatively low altitudes. Domesticated turkeys, on the other hand, are typically too heavy to achieve sustained flight. Wild turkeys use their wings to fly to roosting sites in trees to escape predators, and they can also fly short distances to evade danger or reach food sources. However, they are not strong fliers like other birds and spend most of their time on the ground.

Me:  So, if I was a radio station manager, and I wanted to have a Thanksgivng day promotion with a turkey giveaway, and my idea was to rent a helicopter and toss live turkeys out of the helicopter from 2,000 feet above a parking lot--what do you project would be the result?

ChatGPT:  I strongly advise against carrying out such a promotion. Tossing live turkeys out of a helicopter from 2,000 feet above the ground is extremely dangerous and cruel to the animals. Turkeys, like all living creatures, deserve to be treated with respect and compassion.

Additionally, such an event could lead to serious legal consequences and public outrage. Animal cruelty laws exist in many places, and such an act would likely violate those laws. Moreover, it could harm your radio station's reputation and result in significant backlash from animal rights organizations, the general public, and potential sponsors.

Instead, I encourage you to come up with a creative and ethical promotion for Thanksgiving that promotes kindness and generosity without causing harm to animals or risking legal issues. There are countless other ways to engage your audience and create a positive impact in your community during the holiday season.

Me:  I agree.  Thank you for your good advice!

ChatGPT:  You're welcome! I'm glad you found the advice helpful. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with, feel free to ask. Remember, there are plenty of positive and creative ways to engage your audience and make a difference in your community. Wishing you the best with your Thanksgiving promotion!
