> was sarcasm

Far from it. This is an example of Poe’s law, a very frequent occurrence on the internet. This isn’t a clear example of sarcasm any more than the pelican is a clear example of AGI!

I agree, it wasn't clear at all to me... until I clicked the links.

Now it's clear to me.

Surely we live in the AGI times that were prophesied.

I guess I thought the sarcasm was obvious because I can't imagine a serious person looking at that pelican and considering it proof of AGI. But you're right, this is the internet, anything is possible.
