AI Fails - FAILS from our AI Overlords

[Hellblazer]

I asked Google Gemini if it could measure something for me* and the response cracked me up.

Spoiler: More context

To head off the inevitable comments like:
"r u retarded or just lazy - just measure it the old fashioned way, these apps aren't accurate anyway lulz XD"

My answer to this is: Yes, I am both retarded and lazy.

But I'm also curious about how capable AI is. I normally use Co Pilot (Microsoft/Bing), which uses GPT4, but it didn't have the capability so I asked Gemini.

Bing response to same question below - definitely the more helpful of the two - which doesn't surprise me since Google seems to be lagging in this area.

Here was the initial response from Bing

And answer to my follow up request:

The problem is you're using Google's AI. Hope this helps.

Yeah, if you try you can get braindead responses, it's not difficult.

For more advanced stuff, I asked ChatGPT to make me a base64 string that would depict an image of an apple, the result was a white-grey gradient of only a few pixels tall.
