We asked ChatGPT to rate how cuddly some of Queensland’s most dangerous creatures are in order of how dangerous an encounter with one of them would be, and it’s thrown up some interesting results.
From labelling a common tree snake as more deadly than a great white shark, the results were … adorably misguided. We also asked AI to generate a “cuddly” image of each creature. How do you think ChatGPT did?
1. Saltwater Crocodile
ChatGPT’s analysis:
These massive reptiles are apex predators with powerful jaws and a reputation for taking down large prey, including humans. Cuddling is not in their vocabulary; maintaining a safe distance is a must. Not cuddly at all – more like a croc of danger!
2. Box jellyfish
ChatGPT’s analysis:
With its nearly invisible tentacles armed with venomous stingers, this gelatinous creature poses a serious threat to swimmers. Keep your distance to avoid an unpleasant embrace. Absolutely not cuddly; more like a squishy menace.
3. Eastern Brown Snake
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Non-existent. This highly venomous snake is known for its aggression and potent bite. While it might be intriguing to some, cuddling is definitely not on its agenda.
4. Cassowary
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Misleadingly cuddly appearance. Despite its adorable exterior, the cassowary has powerful legs with dagger-like claws that can cause serious injury. Admire these creatures from a safe distance.
5. Funnel-web Spider
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Known for its aggressive behaviour and potent venom, this spider is best left alone. Cuddling would lead to pain and potential danger. Negative cuddliness; better off just observing from afar.
6. Tiger Shark
ChatGPT’s analysis:
This powerful predator has a reputation for opportunistic feeding habits and is not known for its cuddly demeanour. Respect from afar is advised. Definitely not cuddly – more like a toothy swim buddy you’d avoid.
7. Taipan Snake
ChatGPT’s analysis:
With its lightning-fast movements and highly toxic venom, this snake has earned its place on the list of creatures you definitely shouldn’t cuddle. Negative cuddle points; best appreciated through binoculars.
8. Redback Spider
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Cuddle factor: Absolutely not. This small yet venomous spider prefers dark corners over cuddles. A bite from it can be painful and potentially dangerous. Not even slightly cuddly; more like a tiny arachnid alarm.
9. Bull Shark
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Known for its aggression and ability to thrive in various environments, the bull shark is not your typical cuddle buddy. Zero cuddliness; these sharks mean business!
10. Coastal Taipan
ChatGPT’s analysis:
This highly venomous snake might be elusive, but its potent venom ensures it’s not a creature you’d want to cozy up with.
11. Stonefish
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Camouflaged to blend into its surroundings, stepping on this venomous fish’s spines would be anything but pleasant. This camouflaged fish has venomous spines that can deliver an excruciating sting, so no cuddles here either.
12. Spotted Python
ChatGPT’s analysis:
While it might seem like it’s up for a cuddle, this python is more likely to give you a cozy squeeze than a cuddle.
13. Inland Taipan
ChatGPT’s analysis:
The world’s most toxic snake venom and its solitary nature make it a creature best admired from afar. This snake has the world’s most toxic venom, so cuddles are off the table!
14. Cone Snail
ChatGPT’s analysis:
The cone snail might look fascinating, but its harpoonlike structure delivers potent venom, making it a hands-off creature. Its alluring appearance conceals a venomous secret; cuddling with this marine creature could lead to a very unpleasant surprise.
15. Common Death Adder
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Its camouflaged appearance and potent venom make it a “look, don’t touch” kind of critter. With its venomous bite and ambush hunting style, it’s better suited for observation rather than affection.
16. Australian Tarantula
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Despite its appearance, it’s still a no for cuddles. While its bite isn’t fatal, it’s definitely not a petting zoo resident.
17. Common Tree Snake
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Mildly curious but not cuddly. Despite its harmless nature, it’s best to enjoy its beauty from a safe distance. While non-venomous, their reaction to being cuddled might be to quickly slither away.
18. Blue Ringed Octopus
ChatGPT’s analysis:
Cuddle factor: Absolutely not. Despite its small size, this colourful creature carries venom that can lead to paralysis. Hands off! An ocean friend to be admired from afar.
19. Eastern Tiger Snake
ChatGPT’s analysis:
With its venomous bite and striking appearance, it’s a snake you’d rather admire without getting too close. Its venomous bite could potentially be life-threatening, so best to keep your cuddles reserved for safer companions.
20. Great White Shark
ChatGPT’s analysis:
These apex predators are not pets. While they’re vital to marine ecosystems, hugging is definitely not on the agenda.
