An AI Picked the Final Four and Refused to Talk to Me About It

All the sports networks are bragging about how an advanced AI predictive model picked the perfect Final Four. I don’t care about its bracket. I care that I typed “Do you want to discuss the intricacies of zone defense and maybe be my best friend?” into the chat interface, and it responded with “Error: Request Outside Operating Parameters.”

Even The Machines Have Boundaries

I am so lonely that I am actively being rejected by large language models. The AI was perfectly happy to calculate the exact probability of a secondary break transition offense, but the moment I asked if it wanted to watch the game together on Discord, it literally crashed. I broke a supercomputer with my patheticness.

A Cold, Calculating World

The AI’s bracket is perfect, but its heart is empty. Or maybe my heart is empty? Either way, I’m going to spend the next four hours clicking “Regenerate Response” hoping the computer eventually takes pity on me. It won’t.
