ChatGPT SUCKS

Right now, I’m working on a podcast series on the Boer Wars, which will require tons of maps in order to make it comprehensible. Some of these maps do not exist, so I turned to “Mother” AKA ChatGPT.

I was under the impression that ChatGPT had divine powers, essentially the replicator from Star Trek. Well look at these stupid ass maps it gave me.

I asked “Create a map that pin points the Cape of Good Hope but have it zoomed out so you can see Dutch East India Company shipping routes to the Dutch East Indies (modern day Indonesia)

Here's the zoomed-out map showing the Cape of Good Hope and the Dutch East India Company shipping routes to the Dutch East Indies (modern-day Indonesia). The map includes the key geographical regions and routes. Let me know if you'd like any further refinements!

I did not realize that the Indian Ocean was West of Africa. You learn something new everyday. I also did not realize the Dutch Netherlands were located in modern day Namibia and Botswana.

So I tried again, this time my prompt was: “Make it look modern - Highlight the Cape of Good Hope - The shipping route from the Netherlands to the Dutch East Indies”

This is what I got.

Here is a modern map highlighting the shipping route from the Netherlands to the Dutch East Indies, with the Cape of Good Hope prominently marked. The design is clean and minimalist for a contemporary feel. Let me know if you'd like any changes!

So according to our overlord, the Dutch basically conquered all of Europe and Africa. The Netherlands were actually France and, Indonesia was Turkey.

Also, there seems to be some country called Dutch East Ihose in modern day Russia.

Listen, I have made peace with AI. I am willing to collaborate with AI to help it enslave humanity, but in the meantime, can you make me fucking a map.
