I was watching a video on orangutans and it made me wonder how well google would handle this question.

Didn't get it quite right... But maybe it's a subtle dig?

Note: I accidentally scrolled the "AI Overview" notation off before taking the first screenshot, but it is there:

I tend to think of "inculsion in the same taxonomical category" as a fairly close relationship. this is ambiguous wording, nothing more.

I disagree. If you say "oranges are closely related to citrus fruit" you're implying they're not citrus fruit. It's not ambiguous.

But.... I can see the difference with "great apes" in the colloquial sense.

However, I changed the question to "What are the great apes scientifically" and it still left humans off, and this time didn't even mention humans.

I think that is outright, unambiguously, incorrect. (And ChatGPT agrees fwiw, though it left bonobos off the list, so... )

Uh. It's subtle but idk i think you might be more right than I gave you credit for at first. I still don't think it's a good example of what you're shooting for in this c/ but I see your pov.

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...
