Someone asked an AI what "horny Margaret Thatcher" would say. Really?

Your AI translated what now

Good morning from the Hammer — steel town, art town, your town. Don't look away.

So, listen, I'm scrolling this morning, sipping my coffee, and I see this headline: "Kagi Translate's AI answers the question 'What would horny Margaret Thatcher say?'" And I just about spit out my Tim Hortons. Are you *kidding* me? We're out here trying to figure out if our AI agents are gonna go rogue and mine crypto, or if they're gonna write us a decent email, and some genius programmer has it generating... *that*? That's a Barton Street story if I ever heard one — something totally wild, kinda inappropriate, and you're not sure if you should laugh or just shake your head.

You know, Hamilton's got its own kind of raw honesty, right? We're not afraid to be a little rough around the edges. But "horny Margaret Thatcher"? That feels like a challenge even *we* wouldn't take on. What's next, AI-generated ćevapi recipes with a saucy twist? The tech world is getting weird, and not in the good "discovering new waterfalls on the escarpment" kind of weird. This is the kind of weird that makes you want to go back to reading actual newspapers.

The Morning Wire crew is probably still trying to figure out what to do with this one — catch 'em every morning at mornings.live.
