I fired the model up at 8:39, ready to chat just a bit before 8:40, during which I input the following prompt:
Please define "lark" for me, as in "I did it on a lark."
Output began a bit before 8:41, and was complete before 8:43:

"On a lark" means without much planning or reason, impulsively or unexpectedly.
Here's how it works:
"I did it on a lark." This means the person acted without a specific plan or reason.
"A lark" refers to the lark bird, a small songbird known for its playful nature.
So, "on a lark" suggests something spontaneous, casual, and often with a touch of playful whimsy.
Here are some other ways to understand it:
Without much thought: The person was likely to do it quickly and without much consideration.
Based on a whim: It's something they decided to do without a solid plan.

To me, that is pretty damn spiffy!
- dbtc 2y agoI opened Dictionary.app and typed in lark and got the definition with etymology in under 30 seconds. > British English informal used to suggest that an activity is foolish or a waste of time: he's serious about this music lark.
- ddingus 2y agoYou know that's not the point. You can't even ask the dictionary app a question. You more or less just input and it'll give you what it has. I can ask this model some pretty intense things and I get meaningful output back and it doesn't take very long and I don't need an internet connection. Like I said it's spiffy. I will, have, and will use it again sans network connection and be happy I had the option. Better will come. That is just fine. I have something very useful today, right now.
