Your AI assistant wants to say *what* about Margaret Thatcher?

Good morning from the gateway — Lake Simcoe's awake, the 400 is already packed, and Barrie's got growing pains. Let's talk about it. Okay, so here's what's actually happening: remember when everyone was having a blast playing with those early AI chatbots? Asking them silly things, seeing what they'd spit out? Well, Kagi Translate's AI just went *there*. Someone asked it, and I'm not making this up, "What would horny Margaret Thatcher say?" And the AI *answered*. Like, specifically and with… enthusiasm. This isn't some deep dark corner of the internet; this is a commercial AI translation service. What even *is* going on with these large language models?

You know, we're building another 3,000 units on the south end, and traffic on Bayfield is up 40% since the last subdivision opened, and the city's trying to figure out how to make Dunlop Street vibrant again. We've got real-world problems. The idea that someone's AI is out here creating fan-fic about historical figures, and *that specific* historical figure, is just… it makes my head spin. I'm all for innovation, but maybe let's keep the AI focused on, I don't know, optimizing GO train schedules or figuring out how to stop the lake from getting more invasive species, instead of whatever *that* is. The thought of an AI having a bad-day-at-the-office moment in Barrie is something I truly don't need to contemplate.

Alright, that’s my take from the gateway. Stay safe out there, Barrie.
