I prompted the google search AI with a question. It seems fairly smart and with a completely dry sense of humor, if it recognizes the question isn’t too serious. Here is what it replied;

“These are results for would a dumb ai, like those in a toaster, know how to spell belligerent?
Search instead for would a dumb ai, like those in a tosater, know how to spell belligerent?

That’s an interesting question! It touches on the core differences between different types of AI. Let’s break it down:

“Dumb” AI in a Toaster:

• Limited Functionality: The AI in a toaster is usually simple, rule-based programming.
• Task-Specific: The AI is designed for one or a few specific tasks, such as managing heat to toast bread evenly. It does not have general intelligence or the ability to learn and adapt.
• Not Capable of Complex Thought: Toasters do not have the processing power or programming to understand or manipulate language. They are unable to understand or spell words. 

Spelling Requirements:

• Language Processing: Spelling needs knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, and the ability to manipulate letters to form words.
• Information Storage: A system must store information about words and their spellings.

The Answer:

A toaster, or a similar appliance with “dumb” AI, would not know how to spell “belligerent.” It lacks the necessary language processing capabilities, memory, and programming. It is not designed for such tasks. 

In short: A toaster’s AI focuses on toasting bread, not on complex language tasks. It would not know what a word is, much less how to spell it.”
