    Devil’s advocate: maybe the original Reddit post was somebody asking about how to modify the USB ports in their motherboard and a concerned commenter replied something to the effect of “If you’re not careful messing with live electricity, you may kill yourself!”

    I’ve seen this screenshot or similar ones before and people hadn’t been able to replicate the search results to find the sourced link.

    It seems like that feature is just a sort of mad-libs style of generating strings of text and it mostly appeals to the random=funny crowd. Seems like it can occasionally come up with something coherent or clever but I’m not going to throw the money at it to determine a success rate. It reminds me of Cyanide & Happiness’s random comic generator. Relatively harmless compared to other AI stuff so long as people keep the slop to themselves. I don’t like how they use “AI” as a buzzword for marketing that technology.
