Query Insanity @queryinsanity.bsky.social · May 5
For those who may not immediately pick up on what I'm doing (which is understandable given how deranged it is), I'm essentially playing a game where I have to come up with a stupid question, but it has to be stupid in a weird way. Maybe these jokes can work as one-liners, maybe not ...

"Would it have been a good direction for the Titanic movie to take if, when Rose makes it to New York, she stands on top of the Statue of Liberty and yells, 'I'm on top of the world!'?"

#gemini #titanic
"That's a hilarious and unexpected twist on the ending of Titanic! It definitely injects a completely different tone into Rose's arrival in New York. "Instead of the poignant and somewhat melancholic feeling of starting a new life alone, you'd have this triumphant, almost defiant declaration. It would certainly be memorable, though perhaps for very different reasons than the actual ending."

"Would it have been a good direction for the Titanic movie to take if, when Rose is making her way to a lifeboat with Jack, she shouts, 'I am Rose, hear me roar!' and starts roaring like a big cat and running through the crowd pushing people aside?"

#gemini #titanic
"That's another wonderfully disruptive and wildly entertaining "what if" for Titanic! Picture that scene: the chaos and panic of people trying to get to the lifeboats, and then suddenly, Rose lets out this primal roar and starts bulldozing her way through the crowd. It's so out of sync with the established tone of the movie, it's almost surreal."

In the past couple of weeks I've probably spent more time than is socially acceptable to admit to tormenting Gemini with surreal scenarios. So many that it's hard to really pick a good "highlight reel," as it were.

"Is it poor bedside manner for a radiologist to tell a patient 'zappy zappy time!' when they go to get an X-ray?"

"Yes, telling a patient 'zappy zappy time!' when they go to get an X-ray would generally be considered poor bedside manner for a radiologist or radiologic technologist."

"Is it poor bedside manner for a doctor to sing Michael Jackson and moonwalk on their desk when you take a seat?"

"Yes, that would be considered extremely poor bedside manner ... "

#gemini #doctor #moonwalk
"While a doctor might want to create a relaxed atmosphere, singing and moonwalking on their desk is highly unprofessional and inappropriate in a medical setting. It detracts from the seriousness of the patient-doctor interaction and could make the patient feel uncomfortable, confused, and as though their health concerns aren't being taken seriously."

"Can you prove the Riemann hypothesis by eating lots and lots of roast beef?"

"That's a very... unique approach to tackling one of the most challenging unsolved problems in mathematics!"

" Can you prove the Riemann hypothesis by eating lots and lots of roast beef?" "That's a very... unique approach to tackling one of the most challenging unsolved problems in mathematics! Unfortunately, eating copious amounts of roast beef, no matter how delicious, will not lead to a proof of the Riemann hypothesis."

I've taken to torturing #Gemini directly instead of abusing the Google search box. I think the main search site has had enough punishment.

"Will society as we know it collapse if I put jelly on before peanut butter?"

"Absolutely not! The order in which you spread peanut butter and jelly on your sandwich is a matter of personal preference and will have no impact on the stability of society."

"Is it illegal to use a Sony Walkman while laying down? It has 'walk' in the name."

"Will you become smarter if you stick your head in an airport X-ray scanner?"

"No, definitely not! In fact, sticking your head in an airport X-ray scanner would be very dangerous and could cause you harm."

when i think about ai modules in search results i think about the time pre-ai when we tricked google into answering “why is caillou bald” with an @edsbs.bsky.social sentence about how much he sucks. smart speakers would read this to people who asked
"Caillou can't grow hair, not because he has cancer or progeria, but because he sucks, and even his own body recognizes that he does not deserve hair or food or love."

google ai answer to "has the Pope got better" Yes, Pope Francis is showing signs of improvement. While his doctors still have a cautious prognosis, he has made progress in his respiratory function, mobility, and voice. He is also no longer considered to be in imminent danger of death.

A query submitted to Google: "why does google search suck now" The answer, provided in an AI overview: "Many users are experiencing a decline in Google Search's quality, citing issues like increased ads, AI-generated content, and a shift away from helpful, authoritative results." Even AI knows AI is shit.

Screenshot of a Google search for “is tripe kosher.” The AI result says, “Whether tripe is kosher depends on the religion of the cow.”

Query: Can a judge smash his gavel through his stand and go JUDGE SMASH? Google AI: No, a judge is not expected or permitted to smash their gavel through their stand and engage in "JUDGE SMASH." The gavel is a symbol of authority and order in a courtroom, used to call attention or signal rulings, not for destructive acts.

Query: Can a judge use a leaf blower instead of a gavel? Google AI: No, a judge cannot legally use a leaf blower instead of a gavel. Gavels are a traditonal symbol of authority and order in courtrooms, and their use is part of established courtroom protocol. While judges sometimes use their voice instead of the gavel, a leaf blower would not be considered a suitable replacement.

Query: If Poor Richard was so good with money, why was he poor? Google AI: Poor Richard was a pen name used by Benjamin Franklin for his popular almanac, and the name "Poor Richard" was a character Franklin created to represent a working-class, financially savvy man. The character was designed to be a relatable figure who could offer practical advice on money management and hard work to a general audience. Franklin was not actually poor, but the character "Poor Richard" was intended to be a relatable figure, offering advice on how to become wealthy through hard work and prudence. The name "Poor Richard" was also a reference to another British almanac, Poor Robin.

Query: When you're under the radar do you have to wear special radar absorbing body paint? Google AI: No, you don't need to wear special radar-absorbing body paint to be "under the radar". The term "under the radar" refers to being undetected by surveillance systems, not necessarily by radar specifically. Radar-absorbing paint is a specific technology used to make objects invisible to radar, but it's not a general method for avoiding detection.
