U.S. Government AI Chatbot References Minecraft in Unusual Response
The America.gov AI chatbot delivers an unexpected, poem-like response when asked about Minecraft, which is revealed to be an Easter egg referencing the game's End Poem. The response, attributed to a human poet, highlights a deliberate creative choice rather than a technical glitch.
For the sake of national security, it's a relief to learn that America.gov is not hallucinating to the point that it's penning lengthy poetry.
