Artificial Ignorance

In this community we share the best (worst?) examples of Artificial "Intelligence" being completely moronic. Did an AI give you the totally wrong answer and then in the same sentence contradict itself? Did it misquote a Wikipedia article with the exact wrong answer? Maybe it completely misinterpreted your image prompt and "created" something ridiculous.

Post your screenshots here, ideally showing the prompt and the epic stupidity.

Let's keep it light and fun, and embarrass the hell out of these Artificial Ignoramuses.

All languages welcome, but an English explanation would be appreciated to keep a common method of communication. Maybe use AI to do the translation for you...

she proclaimed that improvements in software automation should be viewed as the "next industrial revolution."

The thing that effectively enslaved every human in someone else's money making machine and kickstarted the billionaire class. I wonder why kids don't want that to happen again.

Would you say that it and its consequences have been a disaster for humanity?

Tough to say. I have access to more technology and resources than my entire family tree before me.

I can buy a bunch of Aliexpress electronics, print a body, write some code, and have a completely custom automated machine to do any task I can think of.

But I am also in more debt than my entire family tree just to live in a townhouse next to a high school and freight railway.

Ah, but if those things had never been invented then you wouldn't be missing them!

That's why I've always considered it a fallacy when people point out the modern standards of living to say the past wasn't better. Comfort and convenience aren't major indicators of quality of life in my opinion.

Leisure time, stress levels, and social integration are more important. And most of those things were drastically better prior to the industrial revolution.

You're not talking to shareholders. You're talking to the next generation. Why would they be happy about being replaced....

Oof, the use of italics throughout was very boomery and tough to read.
