The National Weather Service was caught posting an AI-generated weather map that hallucinated names for towns in Idaho.

    Saved you a click - these are the dirty jokes:

    A graphic forecasts “gusty south winds tonight” and shows a map that lays out the names of nonexistent towns, like “Orangeotilld” and “Whata Bod” — an unintentionally hilarious hallucination that sounds more like an old timey dirty joke than an actual place where people live.

        NWS has largely lost the ability to do that. The NOAA data just isn’t there thanks to DOGE tearing the agency to shreds.

        Perhaps my 11 years there were actually shitposting the seeds of AI’s eventually demise.

        Umm … the National Weather Service can’t “just look it up”, they are who gathers the data and creates the forecast in the first place.
