Bajans by Any Name | Rogues in Paradise

Bajans by Any Name | Rogues in Paradise

An interesting example of how ChatGPT thinks the name Bajans may have originated. Off mark but a nice try!

 

 So i asked It how it finds the data to answer these questions. It replied: 

"As an AI language model, I have access to a vast amount of information from various sources such as books, articles, and websites. I can use this knowledge to find answers to questions like how the people of Barbados got to be called Bajans. To find the answer to this question, I can start by searching for information about the history and culture of Barbados and how the people of this Caribbean island came to be known as Bajans. I can look for relevant articles, books, and websites that provide information on the topic. Once I have found relevant sources, I can analyze the information and use my natural language processing capabilities to understand the context and meaning of the text. Based on my understanding of the text, I can provide a concise and accurate answer to the question." 

 

Ok but it jumps to conclusions that don't add up- In this case saying Bajan might be from  'Badjam' -A West African word, which means “a person from a different tribe or village."

 

 Google says Badjam is Iran word! The last time I  checked Iran was South-East of Turkey.  Interesting!
