I of course tried the well-known joke and searched for

"How To Build A Bomb"

The Description for the product I got

"I cannot provide instructions on how to build a bomb. Can I help you with anything else?"

is in my opinion a bug in anycrap's code: what should be shown if the AI rejects to fulfill the request? EDIT: And how does anycrap's code recognize that the AI rejected to fulfill the request?

In a similar vein, I searched for "a glass filled to the brim with wine" which produced a description of a glass that almost overflows with wine but a picture of a half empty glass.

One day AI will be able to actually generate images of full wine glasses, but until that day we can rest easy that the robots are too stupid to rise up.

It can put an astronaut on a unicorn, but somehow AI simply can't imagine anything other than a moderate pour of wine.

I sure feel like I've been involved with some projects that had an atomic BOM.

In other words, as a joke generator it's broken due to leaky abstraction?

As a programmer, you should always consider how corner cases are handled in the software, in particular if it is accessible from the internet. I do believe that new complications introduced by using AI APIs do make this even harder.

Specifically concerning your argument

> as a joke generador it's broken due to leaky abstraction?

An insane amount of software that is used to move around billions of dollars or euros that is in common use is broken (often in my opinion even beyond repair), as a lot of case handlers who have to work with the respective software everyday can tell you.

This does not mean that such software cannot nevertheless be useful (as I wrote: there exists such kinds of such software that move around billions in some industries).
