This is basically that slop they eat in The Matrix. Mmm, tasty wheat / meat.

How do machine know how the beef tastes like?

With that username*, I'd be extra careful. What if AI confuses you with real cattle?

*Andrej likely knows it, but for the others: быдло/bydlo = cattle.

Lel. You'd be surprised, but I don't. What's the language is it? Polish? I only heard it being associated with unclever commoners lacking any manners.

It's Polish in origin, as ⟨bydło⟩ ['bɨd.wɔ]. In the language it refers directly to cattle, but metaphorically to cattle-like people, like a herd of people who don't think by themselves.

The way that you spelled it in your nickname is as Russian borrowed the word from Polish, ⟨быдло⟩ ['bɨd.ɫə]. In Russian I think that the meaning as "cattle-like people" is default.

TIL.

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. I'd reconsider my relationships with that word in the future.
