Error'd: Artificial Average Intelligence

I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of AI WTFerry at this site for a while, and fewer stupid online sales copy booboos. For today, here we go:

Jet-setterStewart wants to sell a pound, but he's going to have to cover some ground first."Looks like Google are trying very hard to encourage me to stop using their search engine. Perhaps they want me to use chatGPT? I just can't fathom how it got this so wrong."

Tim R. proves that AIs aren't immune to the general flubstitution error category either."I'm not quite sure what's going on here - there were 5 categories each with the same [insert content here] placeholder. Maybe the outer text is not AI generated and the developers forgot to actually call the AI, or maybe the AI has been trained on so much placeholder source code it thought it was generating what I wanted to see."

"Crazy Comcast Calendar Corruption!" complainsB.J.H."No wonder I didn't get birthday gifts -- my birth monthhas been sloughed away. But they still charged me for the months that don't exist." Hey, they only charged you for 12 months at least. Maybe they just picked twelve at random.

EducatorManuel H."Publishing a session recording in [open-source] BigBlueButton seems to be a task for logicians: Should it be public, or protected, or both? Or should it rather be published instead of public? Or better not published at all?"A little translation explanation: the list of options provided would in English be "Public/Protected, Public, Protected, Published, Unpublished". I have no idea what the differences mean.

And the piece de resistance from Mark Whybird"I've always hated click here as a UX antipattern, but Dell have managed to make it even worse." Or maybe better? This is hysterical.
