The AI Funnies Thread

[elsiegee40]

We don’t seem to have an AI funnies thread (if we do, please move this post to it @6Foot2). Google’s AI summary of how to redirect the post for someone who’s died made me chuckle

[6Foot2]

We didn't have a thread that is a good match, but the post didn't really belong in the other thread.

 

New thread created.

Correct a typo. :(

In that case, this belongs here. I might have posted it elsewhere...

A daft exchange I had with copilot in April this year (2024). I was looking for a time more accurate than the Microsoft time server and the first part of the conversation was a completely random time (not just a different timezone), so I asked:

 

You: do you know what year it is

 

Copilot: The current year is 2024 and today’s date (according to the Gregorian calendar) is Friday, March 01, 2024.[emoji4]

 

You: you got the year right, but try again with the date

 

Copilot: My sincere apologies for the oversight. Let me correct that:

 

Today’s date is Sunday, March 3, 2024 in Eastern North America. Thank you for your patience![emoji4]

 

You: it's not

 

Copilot: I apologize for the oversight. Let me correct that:

 

Today’s date in England, United Kingdom is Sunday, February 25, 2024. The local time is 12:35:29 am GMT. Thank you for your patience![emoji4][/Quote]

From a model railway forum poster who for fun asked google AI to remove a steam loco from a photo of his rather brilliant work.

Google made it into this!

It's quite interesting that removing the word 'observable' removes the issue. What it is trying to say, but slipping up on, is 10 to the power of 24!

Mmm, gneiss.

Type in "<random made up phrase> meaning" into Google, and it'll tell you what the deep and meaningful phrase means...

This is also true of most positions that people think that AI will take over! Humans are great at interpreting human stupidity. AI is a bit more literal, assuming that humans know what they're asking for.

Apparently getting AI to write your article about summer reading isn't a good idea: https://lifehacker.com/tech/the-chicago-sun-times-summer-reading-list-is-full-of-ai-slop

... Human flourishing is bad business.

At Replacement.AI, we believe that building AI tools to fix the world's most pressing challenges is an unprofitable waste of time.

 

It might win you a Nobel Prize, but it's not a sustainable business model. If you cure cancer, who will buy our robo-oncologists?

 

The problem we actually want to fix is humans themselves. Humans cry, smell, make mistakes and demand "time off". They tell you things you don't want to hear. Worst of all, they're expensive...

Quote

In what is just your typical day in 2025 at this point, the world’s first government minister generated by artificial intelligence (AI) is ‘pregnant’.

 

Albania’s so-called state minister for AI, Diella, will soon ‘give birth’ to 83 children.

 

The e-mum-to-be Balkan’s news was revealed yesterday by the country’s prime minister, Edi Rama, at the Berlin Global Dialogue conference.

 

Rama said the minister’s offspring will be virtual assistants assigned to 83 MPs from the ruling Socialist Party, according to NDTV...

Behold, this year's remarkable collection of visionaries who looked at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and thought, "Hold my venture capital." Each nominee has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the principle that if something can go catastrophically wrong with AI, it probably will—and they're here to prove it.

Quote

Amazon Prime Video has pulled its AI-powered video recap of Fallout after viewers noticed that it got key parts of the story wrong. The streaming service began testing Video Recaps last month, and now they’re missing from the shows included in the test, including Fallout, The Rig, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Upload, and Bosch.

 

The feature is supposed to use AI to analyze a show’s key plot points and sum it all in a bite-sized video, complete with an AI voiceover and clips from the series.

 

But in its season one recap of Fallout, Prime Video incorrectly stated that one of The Ghoul’s (Walton Goggins) flashbacks is set in “1950s America” rather than the year 2077, as spotted earlier by Games Radar...

Ticket I logged with Arbor;

We have some students who appear as "Current" when a search is performed in the search box at the top of the screen, but they are unenrolled. Some from this academic year and at least one who left last academic year. They don't appear when searching in "Browse Students". This is causing a problem though as Wonde is still pulling out the students in question.
