This is actually a pretty great way to illustrate what LLMs do. It gives you an answer regardless of whether it makes sense to do so.

Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

It's so fun to waste energy!
AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions
I love those energy hungry assistants! It's wasting resources even faster than everything before but it's so fun and useful!
AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions
That's not even supported by the underlying study.
Google's emissions went up 48% between 2019 and 2023, but a lot of things changed in 2020 generally, especially in video chat and cloud collaboration, dramatically expanding demand for data centers for storage and processing. Even without AI, we could have expected data center electricity use to go up dramatically between 2019 and 2023.
"Frantically". Guys, stop adscribing human features to LLMs.
I dunno, anything less would be greenwashing their profligate power consumption.
Claude does better with it
Perplexity does alright too (my preferred LLM because it cites sources) :
It's funny that these llms have web search capabilities and googles ai assistant doesnt
My boss just told me I should be using AI every day and now I know what to use it for.
Duckduckgo's AI:
"The phrase "a lady butterfly meme a day keeps the doctor away" is a playful twist on the well-known saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." This original phrase suggests that eating an apple daily can contribute to good health and potentially reduce the need for medical attention."
"In this variation, the mention of "lady butterfly meme" likely refers to a specific meme or a lighthearted, humorous image that brings joy or laughter. The implication is that engaging with fun or uplifting content, like memes, can have a positive effect on one's mental health and overall well-being, similar to how healthy eating is associated with physical health."
"Overall, it emphasizes the importance of humor and positivity in daily life as a way to maintain good health, particularly mental health."
AI speaks the truth! I wish I could upvote this more
"often" like you can do statistics you piece of LLM
I can confirm it works for DuckDuckGo as well.
I love how it even lists 'sources' (I checked, that phrase does not appear in either "source")
Edit: To make this phenomenon even funnier, I just asked it the exact same question and it gave me a different answer this time. Still "playful" though :)
This actually makes sense though
What on Earth makes it think those sources implied anything?
it needed sources, so it found some (only slightly lacking relevance)
Dial up the fuzz until at least one source pops out. Need to know more on the mars rover? Here's how to teach your dog to knit.

Sounds like lyrics that were cut from Bo Burnham's Welcome to the Internet

Here's the custom filter for uBlock origin that hides this useless feature
Out of sight out of mind
Broke: playing ding-dong-ditch or making prank phone calls
Woke: getting the Google AI to hallucinate the origin story of made up idioms
to be fair, I'd assume the same meaning. Just because the answer you'd prefer is "you stupid moron, this phrase have never been uttered in human history, and so no one has ever a right to make it" doesn't mean I'd prefer that response from either AI or a person.
The point of the made up saying is to demonstrate that LLMs are just yes men.
What if you mishear a saying or phrase you hear in the street? You ask an LLM and it confidently tells you some BS about what it means, how often it's used, and it's origins. Even providing sources that lead to, at best, unrelated phrases.
How is that helpful?
A real person would likely say, "I've never heard that one before" rather than try to gaslight you (hopefully!)
Alas.
This is basically what I got too.
Yeah, my tests all say its a nonsense phrase and does not even try.
I did
"Birch mangos consume Greedy Foxes" meaning
"Flying jabronis kick small pouches" meaning
Did you try them in “AI mode”? I got better results that way. By which I mean worse results.

Oh but it does work in AI mode. Wow, how does AI mode make the AI dumber?
I don't know but I love the fact that even AI is calling EA out on it's bullshit!

handled gracefully with Claude:
The phrase "a bean can't eat the pizza" appears to be a straightforward literal statement pointing out an obvious impossibility - beans are inanimate food items and therefore cannot eat anything, including pizza.
This type of statement might be used to:
- Illustrate absurdity or logical impossibility - highlighting something that makes no sense
- Demonstrate category errors - mixing up different types of things (inanimate objects vs. living beings capable of eating)
- Serve as an example in logic or philosophy - showing statements that are obviously false or meaningless
- Make a point about unrealistic expectations - similar to saying "you can't squeeze blood from a stone"
Without additional context, it's hard to know if this phrase has a specific cultural reference, is part of a joke, or appears in a particular work. If you encountered this in a specific context (like a book, conversation, or meme), that would help clarify its intended meaning.
Is there a particular situation where you heard or saw this phrase?
sounds like urban dictionary when it got enshitified

Shop pop, whoppity slop, crops are here, it's time to stop.
This is a very famous poem. What is it about?
GPT-4o mini:
The lines you quoted are from the poem "The Song of the Witches" by William Shakespeare, specifically from "Macbeth." This poem is recited by the three witches in Act 4, Scene 1.
Themes and Meaning Supernatural Elements The poem reflects the supernatural themes prevalent in "Macbeth." The witches symbolize chaos and the dark forces that influence the characters' fates.
It goes on.
Actual "Song of the witches" from Macbeth
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
