This is what AI can generate when not supervised by an intelligent human. Explanation via FoxNewsVegas:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB/Gray News) - A student agenda distributed at Farnsley Middle School contains a map of the United States with misspelled state names, a distorted periodic table and unreadable phases of the moon, prompting questions from parents about whether artificial intelligence was used to produce the materials...The agenda’s U.S. map renamed Kentucky as “Venecky,” Louisiana as “Lookoong,” and Alabama as “Alotome.” Illinois was listed as “Vitoiis,” Arizona as “Arizone,” and South Carolina as “Sorth Cuanto.”On Wednesday, Farnsley administrators emailed teachers warning them of a lot of mistakes on pages 19 through 36, instructing them to have students tear those pages out. The principal also emailed parents to notify them of the “inaccurate information.”“This is not a misprint,” Morris said. “Someone did not look at what they were handing out to the students.”Families pay a $10 annual instructional fee for the agendas. Morris said the errors led her to question whether artificial intelligence was used to generate the content.“We have to pay a ten-dollar instructional fee every year to get this agenda,” Morris said. “But you’re making us pay for something you used AI for? That’s kind of silly, in my opinion.”Jefferson County Public Schools officials said they are communicating with parents about the inaccuracies.The district did not respond to questions regarding who printed the agendas and whether they were distributed to other schools before publication.
The Seattle Space Needle has been duplicated in San Francisco, there are two Tijuanas, "Havana" is in the Yucatan Peninsula, and various rivers start and end randomly. This was noticed and may be remedied, but what other crap is being fed through the system? Please listen to this teacher's tangentially-related rant.
I spent my entire life first learning from, then teaching in, this country's educational system, which seems now to be going to hell in a handbasket.
