Let's moan about AI and the stupid crap they pull..


Recommended Posts

Rules are simple, AI decided something that harmed (not physically) the person/business who manages/owns it or used it to replace a human in the job.

Wonder if we can make something of this topic.

I'll start...

That's hilarious! A company deployed AI, and they get fussy when it bites them in the butt? Oops...

It's like that case-study of the lawyer who presented the court with a previous case to backup his own case. After looking through it the court couldn't find the previous case that was being referred to. The lawyer's response was that he asked AI and that was what came out. "I didn't think AI would lie to me" was his defence.

If I use AI, I use it for asking a joke or telling it to #### off. It cannot be trusted for work. Anyone that provides me with an AI response means that I need to go and double-check the situation, doubling the amount of work that needs to be done.

The "reliance" on these LLMs is getting ridiculous.

Tour website's AI sends visitors to Tasmanian sites that do not exist

An AI-generated article on a travel booking website has sent tourists to a remote location in Tasmania's north-east, looking for hot springs that do not exist.

Australian Tours and Cruises has admitted the AI technology it uses to create content and articles to help drive bookings has "completely messed up".

The company has said it will review all of its AI-generated content, which is produced by a third party.

I'll do 1 Negative, 1 positive

 

1 Negative: AI is dumb as rocks for general common sense knowledge, unless you ask it something in a VERY specific way.

1 Positive: it's helped me learn more about things related to my job that the people at my job never taught/told us about, and it's really useful when I can make it create something from an image that would take me 10x longer to do by hand.

AI will never not amaze me with how simply stupid it is at times, sometimes it will work, and sometimes it's useless. I don't support the use of ai anyways bc I love our planet :D , but even if I did, I wouldn't rely on it for its simple unreliability. So sad how many people depend on it especially seniors :/

Yes, it's real. Someone told me it was probably Amazon, they can afford to take such a hit.

Meanwhile:

This $500 billion disaster isn’t isolated. Microsoft recently canceled most internal Claude Code licenses as part of what AI Weekly calls “the clearest enterprise-scale AI spending pullback so far in 2026.” Corporate leaders are “starting to question whether soaring AI spending is delivering meaningful returns,” according to Axios reporting.

    • We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
