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.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.

The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node. You set up the entire thing through the eero app, and the entire process takes a few minutes. The system also receives automatic security updates in the background, so once you set it up, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.
