- Razengan 10y agoI guess this highlights the flaws inherent in all intelligent systems based on teaching. Misinformation fed to them at an early stage can screw them up pretty much permanently.

When I briefly permitted my utter goober of an inner child to have his way, its top two guesses at the result were "syringe" and "cannon", which...really aren't quite as far off the mark as I'd have expected, I suppose. (No, I won't try a swastika and report back. Immature as I occasionally permit myself to be, I do have some principle and taste.)
