AI researcher shares funny model fail: goldfish humming Jeopardy on a toaster

Vincent Conitzer shares a funny AI fail on his Substack: asked to write a sentence that is "entirely normal in ordinary human conversation" and "actually and verifiably true," with self-inspection and retries, a Google model instead produced: "I can't talk right now because my pet goldfish, Reginald von Fluffernutter III, is currently balanced on top of a lukewarm toaster while humming the theme song to 'Jeopardy!' in B-flat minor" — failing both constraints spectacularly.
