You won't believe what AI said about Margaret Thatcher.

Okay, listen, this one is making me spill my coffee, hey?

## You won't believe what AI said about Margaret Thatcher

Winterpeg. We built a city in the coldest place anyone has any business building a city — and it is genuinely wonderful. Good morning.

So, I'm reading the wires, right? And I see this story about Kagi Translate's AI getting asked, and I quote, "What would horny Margaret Thatcher say?" What in the Red River jig is happening out there, hey? Remember when we thought AI was gonna, like, solve world hunger or tell us if the Jets were gonna make it past the first round? Instead, we're asking it to write fan-fic for historical figures. I'm tellin' ya, if someone asked an AI about Louis Riel and it came back with something like that, you'd have aunties all over the North End ready to throw hands. We're a little more respectful of our history here, you know? Even if it's the weird stuff that makes us, us.

Honestly, it just makes me miss the days when the weirdest thing we had to worry about was whether the Salisbury House was gonna run out of nip. This AI stuff is getting a little too wild for a Tuesday morning. Keep it simple, keep it local, hey?

The morning crew is probably still trying to figure out how to even say "horny Margaret Thatcher" on air without getting fired, hey? Catch 'em mornings.live.
