A user heard a strange "ma-week" call in their garden at midnight and asked ChatGPT about it. The model suggested a tawny owl, whose "ke-wick" call matched YouTube recordings almost identically. Oddly, their hamster also reacted — hiding whenever the owl called, even with windows closed. The author was impressed the AI pinned down the exact species from a poor text description of a sound.
