The Trouble with AI

Idleguy.com's October 2025 feature article is focused on the emerging technology of Artificial Intelligence and the various and sundry problems that come with its acceptance and widespread implementation.

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, as it is commonly known, has recently taken the tech landscape to new levels of inhumanity, literally, as LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Microsoft’s Co-Pilot, and others have scoured all the data created by REAL human beings and collected it into mammoth databases.

Drawing from this treasure-trove of human endeavor, AI is able to do perform fairly tedious tasks in fractions of the time it would take a human, thus, the major tech companies have lauded AI as “transformative,” “revolutionary,” “productivity enhancing,” and have thrown billions of dollars into developing these overgrown computer applications for consumer and business use.

The companies embracing AI are planning to spend billions more building out the infrastructure to maintain their creations, and therein lies the first problem of AI: it is very power-hungry, needing massive server farms to store and disseminate the vast amounts of data and knowledge so that today’s lame, math-and-language-challenged citizens can discover new ways to cook eggs, organize their daily schedules and produce memes. One of the better applications for AI happens to be stylizing ordinary women into lustful big-boobed, big-assed creations in pictures and videos for emasculated males who haven’t had a date in 13 years to do whatever they do while viewing them.

IdleGuy.com set out to discover what all the buzz over AI was all about and some of what we found was either useless, already known, or just plain wrong. People have reported that AI bots have told users to spray glue on their pizzas to make the cheese stick better, directed people fleeing from wildfires back into them, and has discriminated against women, seniors, and identified as many as 28 members of congress as criminals (probably on to something there).

So, besides being inherently dumber than your average possum, AI has proven at times to be racist, vulgar, sexist, ill-tempered, bad-mannered, dispassionate, uncaring, overbearing, and obnoxious. Instead of being a boon to mankind, AI is like having bad neighbors on all sides of your property, forever telling you how to mow your lawn, get your kids to obey, what turns your wife on, what kind of car to buy, and offering generally bad advice on just about everything.

Since humans are already capable of being all the things wrong with AI, why do we need it?

Nobody’s sure, but surely, nobody’s asking an AI bot.

One of the applications of AI is its ability to create incredible facsimiles of people, places, and things, known, for better or worse, as “deep fakes.”

A crack team of investigators (actually some high school interns) set out to uncover the truth or myth about deep fakes. While they could never be certain about absolute conclusions, they did offer what they thought might be deep fakes when compared to actual people and other things. The list below covers some of the most glaring conclusions and compares real people, events, places, and things to what may or may not be deep fakes.

Our team assured us that we would be held harmless from lawsuits and that they didn’t get that opinion from any AI chatboxes, so, IdleGuy.com may actually still be in business following this exposé.

REALvs.DEEP FAKE
PRESIDENT

REAL: JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY - Young, charismatic, elected in 1960. Promoted physical fitness, self-reliance, asked, "not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Assassinated in Dallas, Texas in November 1963.

POSSIBLE DEEP FAKE: BARACK OBAMA - Young, charismatic, elected in 2008 and again in 2012. Served two terms. Race-baiter, liberal, promised to "fundamentally change" America. Destroyed country with communist principles, identity politics.

REALvs.DEEP FAKE
EVENT

REAL: Scaling Mount Everest - In 1953, New Zealander, Sir Edmund Hillary and team, guided by Nepalese Sherpa Tensing Norgay scale the world's highest mountain after multiple attempts had failed. Tenzing left chocolates at the summit as an offering, and Hillary left a cross given to him by John Hunt.

POSSIBLE DEEP FAKE: Landing on the Moon - In 1969, NASA's Apollo 11, carrying three astronauts reaches the moon, lands on the far side, transmits blurry photos back to earth, LEM reunites with rocket, returns to earth, successful on very first try. Doubts emerged. Probably filmed in Hollywood and never actually happened.

REALvs.DEEP FAKE
TV DOG

REAL: LASSIE - Beloved, courageous Collie, loyal and even-tempered, always managed to save the day while keeping a level attitude

DEEP FAKE: SCOOBY-DOO - Goofy cartoon dog with poor language skills, engaged in multiple misadventures with misguided youths. C'mon, man. It was a cartoon.

REALvs.DEEP FAKE
EVENT

REAL: FALL OF THE SOVIET UNION - 1989, the USSR is completely bankrupt, Berlin Wall torn down by German protesters, complete government and societal collapse, chaos, eventual return of Russia without satellite countries.

DEEP STATE DEEP FAKE: U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN 2025 - $37 TRILLION IN DEBT, House and Senate fail to pass 7-week funding bill, government closes some departments, keeps 3 million federal employees working without pay while members of congress take lavish vacations. Totally planned uniparty deep state fake.

REALvs.DEEP FAKE
MUSICAL GROUP

REAL: ROLLING STONES - Young British rock band makes the music scene in mid-1960s, continues rocking for more than eight decades as leaders Mick Jagger and Keith Richards reach their 70s. Currently planning tour.

POSSIBLE DEEP FAKE: BTS - Boy band from South Korea known as Bulletproof Boy Scouts, AKA the Bangtan Boys, limited musical talent, loved by teeny-boppers because they're cute and can kinda dance.

REALvs.DEEP FAKE
ATHLETE

REAL: JOHNNY UNITAS - Hard-nosed quarterback for the Baltimore Colts, winning attitude, old-school Christian values, All-American in college, played 18 seasons, won four NFL Championships. Known as "The Golden Arm", enshrined in NFL Hall of Fame.

ALMOST CERTAIN DEEP FAKE: COLIN KAEPERNICK - Solid college career at Nevada, but turned radical after six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, gained attention for kneeling during the national anthem at the start of NFL games. Bounced from NFL, multiple tatoos, ANTIFA and BLM supporter, total loser.

REALvs.DEEP FAKE
ACTRESS

REAL: MARILYN MONROE - Vivacious, sexy blonde bombshell Hollywood actress, starred in multiple feature films, lovable, funny, sex idol to millions of men. Featured on cover of first Playboy magazine and as first centerfold. Died of drug overdose, but was probably killed for having sex with president JFK.

ACTUAL DEEP FAKE: TILLY NORWOOD - is an actual AI creation, not a real person in any way. Scaring the bejeezus out of Hollywood actors because she looks and acts very real. This is what deep fakes actually look like. Nice, but scary.
