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...

AI just lists off random information like a 5 year old holding an encyclopedia and a newspaper. People are using this in healthcare.

Except you did not ask that you spelled it wrong as we can see and it gave you an answer based on your incorrect spelling you could have clicked the correction and gotten a normal answer

I don't think that's the point. I think the point is how ridiculous it is.

It's pretty obvious in cases like this that you're getting insane nonsense, but there are other times when you may be getting just as mad crap out of it without it being so obviously noticeable.

Honestly I'm not even mad, I wish more people would tell me true crime facts without the bother of asking what podcasts they listen to

There's a software we resell and the main company has AI help desk stuff as a preemptive way to lower support ticket creation. It is mostly not the info you want. But over the holidays it started spitting out absolute gibberish and duplicated words like it was having a stroke.
