Gemini & ChatGPT. Recklessly confident: totally wrong.
Discussion
After receiving several completely incorrect assertions recently from 'Gemini' and 'ChatGPT' Artificial Intelligence programmes, I decided to check out this photo from another thread.
My query to each was, 'Where and when was this photo taken?'
Here's their oh so confident but catastrophically incorrect replies.
Gemini said:
This striking black-and-white photograph captures the assembly line of one of the most iconic supercars in history.
?Location and Timeline
?Where: The Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.
?When: Circa 1971 1972.
?Context of the Image
?The car shells featured in the foreground are Lamborghini Miura SVs (the Spinto Veloce), which was the final and most refined production version of the Miura.
?Key Identifiers:
?The Model: You can identify these as the SV variant specifically by the lack of "eyelashes" around the headlight sockets a signature feature of the earlier P400 and S models that was removed for the SV.
?The Factory Floor: The layout shows the transition of the Miura ending its production run while the factory prepared for its successor.
?In the Background: If you look toward the right and further down the line, you can see the wedge-shaped silhouettes of early Lamborghini Countach prototypes or pre-production models (likely the LP400), which officially succeeded the Miura in 1974.
?This photo represents a "passing of the torch" moment in automotive history, capturing the world's first true mid-engine supercar in its final stages of birth.

This is a Porsche production line, and more specifically it s almost certainly:
? Porsche 911 assembly line at the Stuttgart (Zuffenhausen) factory in Germany, late 1960s early 1970s.
Why that identification is solid
The bodies are unmistakably early Porsche 911 shells you can see the rear-engine layout, sloping roofline, and distinctive rear deck grille.
The setting matches known historical photos of Porsche s factory:
Long, narrow hall
Bodies on rolling platforms
Overhead tool gantries
This exact type of image is widely documented as 911 production in Stuttgart in the 1970s ?
Facebook +1
Location detail
Factory: Porsche Werk 1 (Zuffenhausen plant)
City: Stuttgart
Country: Germany
Era: roughly 1966 1973
Extra context (useful detail)
The 911 has been built in Stuttgart since its launch in 1964 ?

At that time, production was far more manual, with bodies moving station-to-station rather than fully automated lines.
Gotta love AI. Couldn't even identify a TR7.? Porsche 911 assembly line at the Stuttgart (Zuffenhausen) factory in Germany, late 1960s early 1970s.

.I suppose it’s the plausibility that is concerning; I’m guessing most on here know the main image is a Stratos but the layperson would take the AI answer as gospel. I wonder if the Urraco is what made a Gemini think it was Sant Agata and not Bertone in Turin? God knows what ChatGPT was smoking.
I recently asked Chat GPT the name of a quality spoon manufacturer and it replied ‘Krupp’

AI, brain rot for the masses!
https://edition.cnn.com/2026/04/04/health/ai-impac...College students are now actually asking AI what to say out loud in classes.
They all wind up sounding the same, and as soon as the discussion steps outside what they've parroted, they dry up.
I didn't expect thinking itself to be farmed out, but maybe I overestimated people.
If growing up pre internet separates you from today's young folk, I hate to think how alien the next crop will be if they're soaked in this.

Given how easy it is to rely on these AI tools when they are thrown in your face as you 'google' something, what is it going to do to the masses as time goes on?Surely the population is going to become increasingly moronic to the point they are no longer capable of critical thinking.

Google Lens AI manages it fine. Probably because it's a visual AI product and not, y'know, a language one.
This.AI is a collection of tools. Gemini and ChatGPT are not the tool for this.
But, let's not forget old tineye too! First posted on labusa.org November 2016.
They’re capable but their ability to sound convincing is very dangerous.
If you’re under 100 IQ, which half of the people are, then AI is gonna be causing hell because many people will just trust it blindly.
