I was watching a video on orangutans and it made me wonder how well google would handle this question.

Didn’t get it quite right… But maybe it’s a subtle dig?

Note: I accidentally scrolled the “AI Overview” notation off before taking the first screenshot, but it is there:

    I disagree. If you say “oranges are closely related to citrus fruit” you’re implying they’re not citrus fruit. It’s not ambiguous.

    But… I can see the difference with “great apes” in the colloquial sense.

    However, I changed the question to “What are the great apes scientifically” and it still left humans off, and this time didn’t even mention humans.

    I think that is outright, unambiguously, incorrect. (And ChatGPT agrees fwiw, though it left bonobos off the list, so… <shrug>)
