Humans depend on programs that they write. The program CANNOT be smarter than the person who wrote it, but they bow down and worship the program and never never question if it is functioning correctly.

It wasn’t the decorator’s fault. The online ordering system was set up to reject any obscene or profane language. That meant the person ordering was unable to include the word “cum” in their order. The decorator made the cake to the specs of the online entry.

And yet, they’d like us to trust AI to drive us here and there.

No thank you.

“Sheet cake is a real thing.”

I know that, as is 1/4 sheet cake, 1/2 sheet cake, and 3/4 sheet cake, but not “3/4 inch sheet cake”.

One specifies the fraction of sheet cake, or full sheet cake.

Sheet cakes are not 3/4” tall.

Everyone misunderstands the word “shortcake.” Our local diner has a huge cake with white icing and strawberries which they call “strawberry shortcake,” presumably because it has strawberries.

Shortcake a very small biscuit-type cake that you can make the classic dessert out of.

No, not really. Check out the images under “shortcake” at Google.

Yep.

My word play in post #5 had nothing to do with shortcake until post #15. :-)

I knew someone in HR who told me his company’s porn-spam firewall routinely blocked incoming resumes of anyone who had graduated summa cum laude.

Bingo. It’s amazing how, when faced with a double entendre, the “highly moral” people will run right over and dive into the gutter.

They give degrees in molecular biology in public school?

I’d demand a refund on your degree - your reading comprehension needs work.

I wasn’t denigrating the award winner - I was denigrating that the cake decorator didn’t know the difference between a potentially offensive term and a Latin phrase and blindly followed the rules without giving the father a heads up when he picked up the cake.

Again - don’t you think the cake decorator would’ve KNOWN and contacted the parents to confirm?!

At a bakery in a supermarket? Nope....

If it was a private specialty bakery absolutely... but in a supermarket? Nope, not at all...
