Other territorial disputes seem to have been resolved, with Israel and Luxembourg receiving significant land concessions, and a microstate centered on Čierna nad Tisou seceded from Slovakia
Classic, the toy company that created a comic to boost their toy only to have toy flop and the comic to live on for years and even have reissues and reboots.
(Note I'm not even covering how Prague somehow has escaped Czechia, and become an international union in its own right comprising Germany, Poland, and the entirety of the Benelux countries. Serves that prat Hitler right for that little stunt in 1939; you'll be drinking Budvar and you'll LIKE IT!)
I thought London was fine because I didn't notice they put it in Bristol, I also thought Paris was fine because I didn't notice the label linked to nothing & the actual label going to Paris said "Rome". But I did notice when they inexplicably had the capital of Spain be "Rom".
I guess they got their idea of where Vienna was from the Mousetrap scene in Hamlet, where a murdered man named Gonzago and a wife named Baptista are part of a play that was "the image of a murder done in Vienna".
It's early days and the technology is getting better every day! Why are you focusing on the negatives and not positives such as that after the first few hundred billion dollars of VC cash the machine can finally count to 10 correctly, at the low cost of all the water and electricity we have
I was educated in rural Arkansas and I could have done better than this in 6th grade. Shout out to our globe, World Book Encyclopedias, and my social studies teacher Mrs. Barron
Fair point. My best friend as a child was also from Arkansas. He's a professor of mechanical engineering at North Carolina State now. I use Arkansas as a whipping boy sometimes, but I know it isn't totally fair.
I didn't realize that Barcelona had migrated south to Algeria/Morocco. Guessing the European swallows did some heavy lifting, since African swallows are non-migratory...
Along with the, uh, imaginative location labelling, I appreciate that the ten include two 8s and two 9s, no 7 or 10. The numbering is mostly by how many visitors each place gets, with some very, very out of order.
As Cory Doctorow has written, "AI CAN’T do your job, but an AI salesman CAN convince your boss to fire you and replace you with AI." It seems that someone hired an AI to do the map, eh?
two 8s and two 9s. but not because the visitor numbers match or anything. just...because. london has also seemingly wandered over to the welsh border. there is an almost majestic quality to how confidently wrong it is.
That's my experience with *anything* AI generated, image, text or otherwise. Looks passable for a one second glance from across the room, any further attention is severely punished.
If only the Danes had that landbridge to Sweden in the 1400s, they would have never lost control and the Great Nation of Scandanavia would be a world leader
Perhaps. For the correct answer you might need to consult whatever guidebook the Russians were reading. I think it was titled: Assasinations for Dummies.
Eiffel Tower? You want to take the top road to JP's farm, turn left at the slurry pit & keep going until the Moulin Rouge which means you're reached the 7th Arrondissement. Look for O'Brien's secondhand tractor yard - the Eiffel Tower was built out of knackered Massey-Fergusons by his auld lad.
Sure didn't the Spar in Phelim's petrol station on the Champs Elysses get two Michelin stars for their breakfast rolls!
Or 'baguettes' as we call them here in Paris. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Austrian-Swiss dual monarchy.
Comments
Yep that's the top ten
Or Barcelona, Morocco
(/s for those who are *not* familiar with the general history of the relations between Spain, Catalonia, and Morocco)
Or historic Rome, France
or...oh my fucking god, MILAN, LIBYA
At this rate I am legitimately amazed that the POS LLM got fucking *London* in the right country
(At least we have an explanation for "Versailles, Kentucky" though :D)
AI: LOL other way around dumbass.
Who needs this?
My priorities are specific.
Oh, and free use of all the digital intellectual property ever!
This time around GERMANY is part of PRAGUE
Quite the reverse
It's truly distressing.
in two different countries??
I don't think even the greatest shit poster could make this.
And Milan, Libya
To be fair, it was an improvement.
Wired: Crimea doesnt exist
That's a very 'ketchup or catsup' situation, innit?

But for today I'm off to get some authentic Viennese pizza.

Apparently neither is Barcelona.
One thousand million visitors in London. I wonder if there's a more efficient word for that that someone with a tenth of a brain might've thought up.
Ten attempts, ten locations wrong. (In UK they're pointing at Bristol.)
Back to school methinks. 😁
