Hey, ChatGPT, how do you describe a species of living beings that entirely destroy their ecosystem?
ChatGPT
We describe a species that destroys its ecosystem as “ecologically destructive” or “environmentally detrimental.” Ecologists often use these terms when a species’ actions or presence causes significant harm or imbalance in its ecosystem.
Invasive Species: If the species is not native to the ecosystem and its introduction causes harm to the native species and environment. It’s termed an invasive species. These species can outcompete native species for resources, leading to ecological disruption.
We did leave Africa a few million years ago and occupied the whole world… and we spread like fire.
Overpopulated Species: A species becomes overpopulated when its population size exceeds the carrying capacity of its habitat. This leads to overconsumption of resources and damage to the ecosystem.
Since we haven’t run out of food, I guess we are still OK, right?
Anthropogenic Impact: This term specifically refers to how human activities, such as pollution, deforestation, urbanization, or other environmental changes, significantly alter or destroy ecosystems.
100% every F**ing time!!!
Keystone Species Disruptors: This term applies to a species whose behaviors or actions disrupt the role of keystone species, which are crucial for maintaining an ecosystem’s structure and balance.
Like driving extinct the DODO, the Passenger Pigeon, the Tasmanian Tiger… but it’s OK… we didn’t know better back then.
Ecologically Unbalanced Species: A species that grows unchecked due to a lack of natural predators or other factors and alters the ecosystem balance, often to the detriment of other species.
Even though it takes us so long to reproduce and reach maturity…and we kill each other by the dozen.
In ecological terms, it’s important to understand that such impacts are often complex and involve interactions between multiple factors, including the species itself, the ecosystem, and external influences like climate change or human activity.
AND NOW WE DECIDE TO PLAY GOD – REINTRODUCING SPECIES IN THE REGIONS WE RID THEM OFF. HURAY FOR HUMANITY’S GUILTY COMPLEX… we will soon be struggling for space again.
