Your translation app just got spicy with Margaret Thatcher.

Your AI chat app is getting a little too spicy

Good morning from the border — where Canada meets America and neither one blinks. This is Windsor.

So, I'm scrolling, right? Trying to clear my head after, well, after the Spitfires kinda broke my heart last night. And then I see this headline, and I gotta do a double-take. Kagi Translate's AI, this thing that's supposed to translate languages, apparently answered the question "What would horny Margaret Thatcher say?" *¿Qué?* Like, what are we even doing here? My Tía Sofia, bless her heart, she uses Google Translate to talk to her grandkids on that side of the river, and I can only imagine if it suddenly started spouting... *that*. We're trying to build a Gordie Howe Bridge, connect two countries, and AI is over here channeling historical figures with a filter problem. Makes you wonder what *else* these things are thinking, no?

Honestly, here in Windsor, if our tech started getting this… *personal*… about political figures, there'd be protests on Ouellette Avenue faster than you can say "thin crust with shredded pepperoni." We've got enough drama with the auto plants and who's getting the next shift. We don't need our apps getting fresh with the Iron Lady. Keep it clean, keep it professional, ¿verdad?

This is Marc-Antoine Beaulieu-Vargas, MiTL Sports Desk, Windsor.

The *banda* on the morning show are definitely going to have thoughts on this one – check it out live at mornings.live.
