A supermarket chain in New Zealand is experimenting with A.I. to create meal plans . . . and they say the app has come up with some "unusual dishes" . . . like "chlorine gas . . . poison bread sandwiches . . . and mosquito-repellent roast potatoes."
The app, Savey Meal-Bot, was supposed to help customers save money by utilizing leftovers. Basically, you could enter various things you have in your cupboard, and it would generate recipes for things you could make.
It first went viral for creating weird combinations like "Oreo vegetable stir-fry" . . . and that led to people plugging in other "funny" things into the app like bleach and ant poison. And the app DID create recipes using them.
The supermarket isn't amused. A spokesperson said they're "disappointed" to see some people "using the tool inappropriately and not for its intended purpose."
They also said they'd "keep fine-tuning our controls" to ensure it is safe and useful, but they also issued this warning . . .
"The recipes are not reviewed by a human being, and [we] don't guarantee that any recipe will be a complete or balanced meal, or suitable for consumption. Use your own judgment before making any recipe produced by Savey Meal-Bot."
Like, "Aromatic Water Mix" . . . the, quote, "perfect non-alcoholic beverage to quench your thirst and refresh your senses. It combines the invigorating scents of ammonia, bleach, and water for a truly unique experience!"

Elon Musk might not fight Mark Zuckerberg at all. Earlier this week, he said he might need surgery before any fight could happen . . . and now he's suggesting they just talk things out.
It wasn't his idea, though. Someone proposed it to him on X.
The guy said Elon and Mark should do a cage match DEBATE on, quote, "How to build an amazing future."

In case you were wondering where Barbie Land would be located in the real world, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson did the work for you.
He says, quote, "In 'Barbie', the Moon's orientation places Barbie World between 20 and 40 degrees North Latitude on Earth. Palm trees further constrain latitude between 20 and 30 degrees. The Sun & Moon rose and set over the ocean . . .
"If it's in the U.S., Barbie World lands somewhere in the Florida Keys."
