The only thing I use AI for right now is spouting nonsense at it for a joke. For example I would ask 'why didn't (insert well known figure here) buy me lunch?' Or 'I farted and they cleared out a 10 block radius and called in a chemical weapons cleanup crew, is this normal?'

Shit like that.

I like giving it impossible tasks, like spell OPERATION with only 4 letters, and arguing with it as it refuses to just admit that I'm wrong and have requested something impossible, or when it tries to cut corners. "No, I don't want an abbreviation, or a word that means the same thing, I want you to spell the full word OPERATION with only 4 letters. Why can't you get this right?"
