Ants on my food. Help!

Human: How to get ants off food?

AI: Excuse me?

Human: There are ants on a plate of food. How do I make them go away?

AI: Can you elaborate on how you want to do this?

Human: I don't know how. What do you suggest?

AI: Thank you for clarifying. There are several possibilities: use an ant spray, wash it off, or remove the food from ants.

Human: Isn't ant spray harmful to humans?

AI: Some are.

Human: I wouldn't want to spray poison on my food 

AI: But it would do the job.

Human: It's like the operation was a success but the patient died. Lol

AI: Are you trying to be funny?

Human: Yes. It was a joke. But seriously let's explore your third option.

AI: Two options remain then. You can scrape it off, or remove the food from ants.

Human: How do you remove food from ants?

AI: Do you have access to the plate?

Human: Sure

AI: You can cover the plate with something, or move it out of reach of ants.

Human: But the ants are already on the food. You're just trapping them in there.

AI: The ants will just move away from it.

Human: But why?

AI: I am sorry, I mean that the ants will just leave it because there is no longer anything for them to feed on.

Human: How do I pick ants off a plate of food? 

AI: You can spray them of course.

Human: With poison, on my food???

AI: According to the context we've developed in our dialogue, it is clear that you are asking how to kill the ants.

Human: I don't want to hurt the ants. I just want them off my food.

AI: In that case you will have to remove the food from the ants with something.

Human: Thanks

AI: No problem.
