25 AI Fails That Were More “Dumbass” Than “Future Human Overlord” – Charm

Look, I think we all know the day is coming when robots take over the world and enslave or exterminate us all. But for the time being, they’re still dumb as shit.

And right now, there may be no bigger robot dumbass than AI. Seriously — here are 25 times AI was NOT up to the task:

1.Who knew WWII raged into the ’90s?

Search results indicate David Stirling did not survive WWII; captured in 1943, died in London in 1990

2.This AI says “Thanks for pointing that out!” You mean pointing out that you’re a freaking robot moron?

4.This AI is seriously confused about math.

5.Man, I never realized how GREAT Joe looked for his age!

81 years old? Nope. Try 48, AI.
