Your AI is thinking about Margaret Thatcher in *that* way
So here's the thing about Utah — we're generally pretty buttoned-down. We like our tech to be useful, our art to be wholesome, and our AI to, well, *not* be imagining historical figures in compromising positions. So imagine my face when I read about Kagi Translate's AI, the one that answers the question, "What would horny Margaret Thatcher say?" Yeah. No, yeah, that's a real thing out there in the world. Makes you wonder what kind of prompts people are feeding these machines. I mean, we've got enough trouble regulating actual humans with our liquor laws, let alone trying to rein in an AI that's gone rogue with the Iron Lady.
I can just picture the state legislature trying to pass a bill on "AI Decency Standards" if this ever made it to our Great Salt Lake valley. They'd probably require an "intent to dine" before you could even *ask* an AI a spicy question. It reminds me of those early days of the internet here, when filtering software was all the rage. This Kagi thing though, it feels different. It's not just filtering, it's… inventing. I don't know if that's progress or just proof that some things maybe shouldn't be asked.
That's the Crossroads, friends — greatest snow on earth and the weirdest liquor laws.
