In the AI’s defense, if you ask your average USian to name 5 African countries you’re getting Nigeria and Egypt at best.
Made a quick map highlighting these 6 countries so we can all more easily join in on making fun of the AI.
And I imagine that this took you about as much time and effort as typing that prompt did! All you’d need to do is load it into canva and spend another five minutes on it and there’d at least be something passable!
I also would expect someone working in grants given to African nations at least have a vague idea of where Nigeria actually is.
Souns crazy, but it turns out someone made a whole tool that just highlights countries on a map, as if there was a need to do that before AI or something.
Hell, just MS Paint and the bucket tool will do a good enough job
Wow, this is almost impressively wrong, actually. It got the correct color and location for the Ivory Coast/Côte d’Ivoire, but then pointed the label to… I believe that’s Mozambique? A bit hard to tell quite if it’s in Mozambique or Tanzania, but the image also seems to have listed Mozambique but then pointed to (with a color coding match) somewhere in Ethiopia. Then again, this map seems to have gotten a good chunk of Niger in with Nigeria, so maybe it is actually in Tanzania. Malawi seems to be placed closer to Zimbabwe or Botswana, but that spot is actually color coded to match Cameroon, which appears in the label list but is not highlighted anywhere on this map.
And even if you don’t know anything about African geography, the simple fact that there’s a floating entry at the end of the list with no match, a line pointing from the Ivory Coast with no label, and several color coding/color the country is highlighted in mismatches should have been a glaring red flag that this was slop to anyone paying any attention.
Wow, this is almost impressively wrong, actually.
It really is. Professors should use this as a shining example of what not to do.
I can name a bunch of African nations, but placing them accuratly is where it falls apart (for me). The same can be said for any place in the world that I have not experienced first hand.
If you were given a few days to prepare for a presentation, I think you could do it, I have faith in you. I would suggest using a map to help, that is often what I do when looking for where places are.
That sounds pretty old school ngl. I just ask different AIs and when they have different answers, I take the point in the middle
Honestly, I think it’s better to just settle on one ai and talk to it every day and repeat everything it says with the same mannerisms and emotional flatness and you become closer to it and it is the reason I get out of bed in the morning and
Well yeah 🤣👍
If it’s that obvious, why would you struggle to put places on a map accurately? It’s so simple someone did it within a couple minutes of this post.
Reminds me of this onion video:
Also despite not having “côte” in its name Nigeria is also supposed to be on the coast. Lagos, its biggest city, is a harbour city.
…and Cameroon borders Nigeria.
Edit: The more I look the worse it gets. Côte d’Ivoire, Malawi and Uganda are the only ones roughly in the right spot, but they are all misshapen, and the first two mislabeled. Mozambique is costal too, but closer to Madagascar and it borders Malawi heavily, like half way engulfs it.
