This came up after a friend was playing a trivia game. We were looking up what colour the wedges were for the different categories in Trivial Pursuit and it came up with this gem.
Search is "trivial pursuit sports and leisure colour"

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...

Idk why the screenshot is like that, that's bizarre. The prompt is hard to see, so transcribed below:
How inaccurate is it?
This is much more accurate, I'd say, though probably still incomplete:
How is it for you?
I had to teach it 'how' to do the research like I wanted it to, and have since cleared the app's storage; I did it with myself earlier but didn't save it. It was quite accurate, focusing on my leftist political views and gender expression, but it mistook a couple pieces of satire to be legitimate, and placed way too much importance on my bio lol.
The overview yours generated for me seems to over emphasize the tech/programming part- I'm not a programmer I just use Linux lol. I've also commented quite a bit about llms and genAI, but nothing that has been active enough to show up in search indexes I guess
I would recommend you not start posting what it generates about specific individuals willy nilly. I'm not sure what your intentions were but just so you know, it made me feel very uncomfortable.
And yes, I know it's info that is publicly accessible and anyone could do that, but it's a bit weird to have it posted like that, particularly when it's so exaggerated and inaccurate.
I'm sorry it made you feel uncomfortable! Would you like me to delete it?
I don't think I talk about hockey or the Canucks very much (at all?), and other than this brand new community I don't think I talk about AI making mistakes that much. But, I can't really remember.
In general I'd say it's made a lot of stuff up and exaggerated things based on limited information.
What AI/LLM is that btw?
Makes sense- I had a feeling lol
It's GPT4 via Perplexity.
Perplexity is an objectively shit company btw so, to anyone who comes across this comment, be advised that, if you decide to use it anyway, you can bypass the email sign up when opening the app by clicking "cancel" in the top right corner (and also, if you want to avoid supporting them in any way, you should use a VPN, run the app in a container/separate profile, and clear the app's storage after each use)
I did and it got it mostly correct except for a couple issues of not recognizing sarcasm, and suggesting that I'm "known for" my bio ("being a disembodied head with a freak long tongue is not only okay- it can be an exciting opportunity!")
It also inflated my ego lol
It was nice for my ego too, it made up that I used copilot though
