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...

This description of C++ is misleading at best (C++ is used for "Air Travel"?), but saying its used to "make Linux" is just wrong.

A very specific subset of a very specific version of C++.

Unless they went all in on the recent C standard.

Linux kernel doesn't use C++ at all.

Though if you widen the definition of "Linux OS" beyond the kernel then it's used in many places of course (especially KDE).

What was it written in, C?

[–] deadcream@sopuli.xyz 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, C with many GCC extensions.

Thanks! Is it like 100% Rust now? Or am I totally wrong here.

[–] deadcream@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not, there is very little Rust in the kernel. It's still WIP and there no real world Rust drivers in the mainline repo yet. It will probably change "soon", but even then Linux will remain 99% C for the foreseeable future. You can't just rewrite something like that in Rust.

Thanks for the explanation!

I don’t think you understood the post.

C++ was a strict superset of C for many many years. Until very recently, all C was definitionally also C++.
