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...

  • A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for false claims in its AI-generated search overviews.
  • In this case, Google's AI had wrongly linked two publishers to scams and shady business practices.
  • The court treated the AI overviews as Google's own content and rejected Google's argument that users were responsible for fact-checking the results themselves.

Ah yes we'll force feed you info as the first thing but you're responsible for checking it. What a plan.

I absolutely love seeing these types of rulings. Y'all want the stochastic AI to run all these things be prepared to be legally on the hook for the shit it does and says.

this is an LLM killer for germany, this will force compnays to not rely on these buggy POS until it at least operates reliably. or risk lawsuit as people fish for reasons to sue using the chat bot.

IBM had it right

And therefor the company is responsible for what a computer does.

Easy fix. Google just needs to prompt their AI with "make no mistakes".

If stupid corporations want to have the same rights as humans then they should be bound by the same laws.
