AI meltdown
Because I lost the TV remote on my TV and I needed to do a channel scan on my TV, I asked AI how. I gave TV model number. It says yes your TV has a button behind the screen so you can do without remote. Go to you TV right side on the low side is the button.

I looked for the button cannot find anything. I talked back and forth with AI for 1 hour meltdown talking to AI even trying to find this button, AI even sent me pictures, help me guide me 1 hour back and forth. I moved my furniture to get to the back of the TV even because I cannot see the button but the stupid AI is telling me it has a button on the right side behind the screen.


Then after 1 hour I realized what was the problem. The stupid AI didn't tell me that right side is when you look the TV frontal, but when you look behind it right side becomes left side. The button was really there, but on the left side, not on the right side as AI told me.

And how is that AI meltdown rather than PEBKAC? (And not the only one considering the flood)

True story dude. 1 hour on Sunday afternoon with this stupid AI who can't tell me it is the left side, not the right side. Who the hell thinks that right side is left side when people watch the TV from in front ? Nobody watched TV from behind

I can never figure out how to unscrew those glass light domes on the ceiling. I know righty tighty lefty loosey but, it's upside-down and my brain just gives me wet farts instead of answers."

How about working on pipes under a sink, while on your back? I try the wrong direction every time, especially fun because water pipes are usually tight, so is it really the wrong direction, or is just a little more force called for?🙄

Wet is good. It shows your creative juices are still working.

Yup.

For some reason, if it's upside-down, I just all sense of direction.

I'm sorry, I laughed so hard at this :)

yes, AI still doesn't understand how the HUMAN WORLD actually looks and works, and it assumes we also speak ROBOT and understand ROBOT.

what you can do in the future is ask the AI to show you the picture of the button on the device and then you'd understand the positioning better :)

Do you really think it's not your fault for not checking both sides? You're telling me you spent more than an hour looking at one side of the TV...? And you think it's the AI's fault?

Look at your hand; does it have a left and right side, or does each side have a left and right? Your palm's left is different from the back of your hand's left

This is human error
