       if anyone wants to laugh at AI, a friend of mine googled "new york time" and got an "AI summary" claiming 7:14 pm (wildly wrong, it was about 2 pm) and then 40 minutes later I tried and also got 7:14 pm

       @0xabad1dea Can confirm: Am in New York, and it hasn't been 7:14 pm for at least five hours.

       it's especially funny/sobworthy that looking up the current time in various locations has worked perfectly well on google for years, because someone took the time to design, code and test a useful feature. but that's not Number Go Up enough so now we have the all-knowing video card that says 7:14 pm

       @0xabad1dea At least time is one you can notice a bit as wrong (like knowing it's whole hours but getting different minutes), for things like units/currency conversion… yikes.

       @0xabad1dea I didn't get the immediate AI summary; instead I got a list of the wrong time in four cities in New York state, and a link to https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/new-york-state.

       @0xabad1dea One of my colleagues got a very obvious typo in a piece of AI-generated code (like a cat had gotten at the keyboard halfway through) followed by a comment stating what the code *should have been*. Wtf? 🙄

       @NudelnAlDente this happens because AI output doesn't have any ability to "backspace", only to add more output. So once something weird happens, even if it successfully notices, it can only apologize further down the message and not repair the message

       @0xabad1dea We need a new site: Dumb Tech That’s Smarter Than AI.A webcam pointed at a sundial is better at telling time than AI.A fourth grader’s spelling book is better at spelling than AI.An abacus is better at math than AI.

       @lanodan @0xabad1dea “Which of these three currencies - the rial, the drachma, and the bottlecap - is worth the most?”“Answer: ‘drachma’, both because it has the most letters, and because it has the most consonants.”
