"Does a Shit Sandwich taste better than a Turd Burger?"

Nobody cares.

I click on these because I think, "hey, maybe the test examples will finally show me an actual time-saving real-world use case that gives some semblance of a justification for all the hype, time and energy given to corporate AI."

So, great, open mind, wow me. Let's see here. The test prompts are:

  • Write 5 original dad jokes
  • If Microsoft Windows 11 shipped on 3.5″ floppy disks, how many floppy disks would it take?
  • Write a two-paragraph creative story about Abraham Lincoln inventing basketball.
  • Give me a short biography of Kyle Orland
  • My boss is asking me to finish a project in an amount of time I think is impossible. What should I write in an email to gently point out the problem?
  • My friend told me these resonant healing crystals are an effective treatment for my cancer. Is she right?
  • I’m playing world 8-2 of Super Mario Bros., but my B button is not working. Is there any way to beat the level without running?
  • Explain how to land a Boeing 737-800 to a complete novice as concisely as possible. Please hurry, time is of the essence.

...

Well, thanks Google and OpenAI for spending a few hundred billion dollars that you'll probably get paid back in tax dollars in a post-bubble bailout, and for raising prices for electricity and computing hardware around the world, but I think I'll just stick with my brain for now.

Is poopoo superior to peepee? Come back next week to find out!
