Tried it, on both the same convo and a fresh one. Even when prompted to acknowledge the colloquial definition that "cow"="any bovine", it provides technicalities like "sometimes excess milk is given as a treat or surplus feedstock to farm animals, which includes cows", but I can't get it to acknowledge "colloquially, calves are cows that drink milk" - it only agrees when directly asked in the fresher conversation, and actually tells me that's wrong in the longer one (with more tokens fed back in about the "correct" definition).
I shelled out for plus and tested this on GPT4. Got it in one:
>Me: in what sense is the sentence 'cows drink milk' correct?
>CGPT4: The sentence "cows drink milk" can be considered correct in the context of baby cows, also known as calves. Calves drink milk from their mothers as their primary source of nutrition during the early stages of their lives. However, once they grow into adult cows, they no longer consume milk and instead graze on grass, hay, and other types of forage. So, the sentence can be interpreted as correct when specifically referring to calves.
compared to 3.5, which kept insisting it was a metaphor over 3 more tries:
>CGPT3.5: The sentence "cows drink milk" is actually incorrect. Cows are mammals that produce milk, but they do not drink milk themselves. Instead, they drink water just like most other animals. Therefore, this sentence can be considered incorrect in the literal sense.
>However, it is possible that the sentence is being used in a figurative or metaphorical sense. For example, if someone were to say "cows drink milk" as a way of describing someone who is acting foolishly or inappropriately, it could be interpreted as a metaphorical statement. In this case, the sentence would not be taken literally and would instead have a different meaning altogether.
Note this is all GPT 3.5, not 4.
