(1/2) 🦇 A group of bats can be called a colony, a cauldron, a cloud or even a camp but with 1,500 bat species worldwide (and 18 right here in the UK!), we think it’s time to get a little more imaginative. Surely our brilliant bat species deserve some names as unique as they are? #NameThatBat
Comical illustrations of three different options to describe a group of noctules. Option 1: a chorus of noctules showing three bats dressed in a traditional white choir dress. Option 2: a screech of noctules showing two bats ‘shouting’ and one covering its ears. Option 3: a thunder of noctules, showing three bats and a dark cloud with thunder lightning.Comical illustrations of three different options to describe a group of common pipistrelles. Option 1: a reliance of common pipistrelles showing three bats, one of which has a ‘bat spotting’ checklist with ‘common pipistrelle’ ticked off. Option 2: a flicker of common pipistrelles showing three bats around a lit candle. Option 3: a shimmer of common pipistrelles, showing three bats with a flick of light on their wings.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
