AI Designs Absurd "Super Safe Sub" for Billionaires to Ride Into the Depths of the Ocean
SMRTR summary
A mysterious "emergency baby" and a "proutic haripotator" are just some of the nonsensical features included in an AI-designed submarine that supposedly outperforms the ill-fated Titan submersible.
When Bluesky user Keith Ng asked ChatGPT to design "the world's best and strongest deep-sea submersible," the result was a comically flawed blueprint for "Project Abyssum," complete with misspelled components like "floutation haterial" and an "emergency tbaiht release."
The AI confidently declared its design could "go significantly deeper than the Titan, and much more safely," despite including imaginary specifications and recommending submission to a non-existent manufacturer called "Shenzen Marine Manufacturing Systems Ltd."
Ng sarcastically encouraged fellow "AI champions" to build the vessel, writing: "Obviously it's safe to do so. The AI even added an emergency baby to the design."
The amusing experiment exposes the gap between AI's current capabilities and the world-changing potential claimed by tech billionaires like Sam Altman, revealing how these systems primarily generate confident-sounding affirmations rather than revolutionary designs.
