AI just doesn’t get it — ever
A blank page is a blank page is a blank page.
Today, this is my favourite example of AI’s total inability to understand anything.
For a story I’m writing elsewhere, I looked up the quote “Where were you when the page was blank?”
This was Truman Capote’s riposte to a critic who was telling him all about what was wrong with something he’d written.
The critic couldn’t have written it, was Capote’s point. I think we get that?
The helpful “AI overview” of the quote “Where were you when the page was blank?” was as follows.
The question is ambiguous. It could be interpreted in a few ways, but generally, a “blank page” refers to a page without any content or writing. If the question is about the page in a web browser, it could mean the browser’s default “about:blank” page, or a new tab page that hasn’t had content loaded into it yet. If the question is about a physical document, it refers to a sheet of paper with no text or images on it.
That clears that up, doesn’t it?
