For no particular reason I asked one of those AI things the following:

"𝘏𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦?"

I deliberately kept my prompt question quite vague and non-UK specific with a view to getting a more useful answer. Anyway, imagine my surprise when a part of the answer included 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘣𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘴:

"[...] 𝘈𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 1930𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 "𝘨𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘯" 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯."

Naturally, I pursued this as follows:

"𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦."

To which the AI tease definitively proved its Red Berry Solero-ness with the response:

"𝘐 𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 1930𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘨𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

Actually, I think it "misspoke" 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 and in its first reply had garbled The Greenbrier Ghost case from 1897 West Virginia - as opposed to 1930s England. The idiot!

If nothing else, I can now see why Ian Terminator was moved to write his eponymous screenplay.

Sadly it’s no longer Twitter, Rich.

It’s Musk’s X.

Or MusX.
