I'm going to spend a long time thinking about this one.
The frog guy, we need to tag the frog guy. I want to know which of these frogs is the FRIENDLIEST.
@markscherz we request your expertise. Please tell us about these allegedly hateful frogs.
I've been tagged in this a whole lot now. I have reservations about dignifying it with an answer at all, because the art/advert is so clearly AI generated. However, as this post brings no traffic to the actual source itself, I feel like it's okay to at least identify what we're looking at. And I think almost all of these can be identified:
January - Agalychnis callidryas. Of course. AI loves popular animals, and perhaps no frog is as iconic as the red-eyed treefrog. February - Trachycephalus resinifictrix March - probably supposed to be Dendrobates auratus, but honestly looks more like a Ranitomeya April - I think this is supposed to be Odorrana? It certainly looks like it. May - any of the many green frogs in the family Ranidae. May be Aquarana or Pelophylax, but could also be many others. June - Maybe Litoria caerulea? but not chubby enough July - I think the AI was trying to represent a Pelobatrachus nasutus, but had arbitrarily decided it wanted only green frogs and accidentally landed on something like Gastrotheca guentheri? August - Some hylid frog, almost certainly based on either Dryophytes or Hyla September - Any of a number of green toads, possibly genus Bufotes October - Ceratophrys cranwelli or C. ornata November - No idea. Could be any number of species. But given that when you ask ChatGPT for a list of ten random frogs, it almost always includes Pyxicephalus adspersus, I guess this could be a young individual of that species. December - A glass frog, family Centrolenidae. AI is *obsessed* with Hyalinobatrachium, so it's probably a member of that genus.
As for which one is the friendliest, I have no idea, but I think it is fairly clearly the Ceratophrys that is the least friendly/most likely to actually try to hurt you.
π Thank you! Yes, this is a REALLY weird and extremely AI ad. I don't even know what it went to because I didn't click through. Its meaning must remain a mystery. Or perhaps the meaninglessness makes it haunting.
There was no doubt in my heart that Mister October, the Ceratophrys, would be the problem child. But truly, frogs don't owe anyone anything, and I love them all equally. They are perfect.
Sorry you were one million tagged, sir. Thank you for all you do.
