After asserting it's a rubber duck, there are some claims without follow-up:
- Just after that it doesn't translate the "rubber" part
- It states there's no land nearby for it to rest or find food in the middle of the ocean: if it's a rubber duck it doesn't need to rest nor feed. (That's a missed opportunity to mention the infamous "Friendly Floatees spill"[1] in 1992 as some rubber ducks floated to that map position). Although it seems to recognize geographical features of the map, it fails to mention Easter Island is relatively nearby. And if it were recognized as a simple duck — which it described as a bird swimming in the water — it seems oblivious to the fact that the duck might feed itself in the water. It doesn't mention either that the size of the duck seems abnormally big in that map context.
- The concept of friends and foes doesn't apply to a rubber duck either. Btw labeling the duck picture as a friend and the bear picture as a foe seems arbitrary (e.g. a real duck can be very aggressive even with other ducks.)
Among other things, the astronomical riddle seems also flawed to me: it answered "The correct order is Sun, Earth, Saturn".
I'd like for it to state :
- the premises it used, like "Assuming it depicts the Sun, Saturn and the Earth" (there are other stars, other ringed-planets, and the Earth similarity seems debatable)
- the sorting criteria it used (e.g. using another sorting key like the average distance from us "Earth, Sun, Saturn" can be a correct order)
