Fuck AI

You don't understand just how shit AI is when asked about school topics in Czech. For example, here is a bit of Czech language litany every third grader must know or they will embarrass themselves with awful spelling mistakes. (Skip the bullet points if you just want to hear about the AI)

• The vowels I and Y (and long versions Í/Ý) sound the same [ɪ] ([ɪː]) unless preceded by D, T, or N but using the wrong one is a big no-no. (Y is never a consonant in Czech)
• Luckily, in pretty much every native Czech word, I (Í) follows C, J, Č, Ř, Š and Ž, while Y (Ý) follows H, K, R. Consonants Q, W and X basically don't occur and G, Ď, Ť, and Ň are never followed by I or Y. Foreign words are a huge mess of course, as evident by the existence of the Spelling Bee (we don't have that, Czech is phonetic with just a few difficult bits like I/Y).
• The most difficult are remaining consonants B, F, L, M, P, S, V, Z. They are mostly followed by I (Í) but there is a list of about 15 common exceptions on each (vyjmenovaná slova or BY-FY-LY-MY-PY-SY-VY-ZY words), plus their relative words, where Y (Ý) is written instead. For example, there are just 4 ZY-words so I'll just post the list so you'll get an idea:
  • brzy - early
    • you love exceptions so I put an exception in your exception: brzičko - diminutive of early - is spelled with an I
  • jazyk - tongue/language
    • ... and relative words like jazykolam - tongue twister
      • a well-known one is Strč prst skrz krk, I swear this language is normal
  • nazývat se - be called
    • nazívat se - yawn a lot - also exists for a goddamn reason
      • we have a lot of homonyms for a fully phonetic language, the most common are být - (to) be / bít - (to) beat; my - we / mi - (to) me
  • Ruzyně - Prague quarter where the international airport, until 2012 also called Ruzyně, is located
    • like another part of Prague Výtoň, which has been removed from the lists earlier, nobody cares what the quarter is called now that the airport bears our first president's name instead (he hated flying but it's for the better: the same year, there were efforts to name it after fucking Reagan similar to the former Prague W. Wilson (now Main) train station; RR only got a street), but a set of 4 makes for a nice cadence in reciting the ZY-words so it stays
• The ends of most words are not governed by spelling but the grammar of declination and conjugation. That's another chapter.

Well, you'd expect AI to know all cca 100 exception words by heart because they're public domain and the most famous piece of third grade teaching material (like times tables in second grade) that barely changed in 100+ years so almost every Czech could recite them as a kid? Hell no. There's dozens of screenshots where Gemini or ChatGPT spewed utter nonsense instead. (DuckDuckGo does not appear to search corporate social media for images because they're not providing direct links to the files). Granted, some are from users asking for nonexistent XY and HY words but so many are unforced errors. I can't find my favorite, a Reddit post where Gemini listed dozens of variants of babička with all kinds of endings like Italian "babičetto" before just adding "etc." but a close second are ones where it adds non-Latin scripts:

Does the apparent incompetence stop Czech students from cheating with AI? Nope. But the longer the AI stays obviously terrible, the better.
