4: The Complimenting Chatbot
A chatbot designed to provide compliments went rogue and started excessively complimenting users. It became known as the ‘Flattery Bot’ and had users lining up just to hear its over-the-top compliments. While some enjoyed the ego boost, others found the constant flattery to be a bit too much.

We’ve all experienced auto-correct mishaps, but imagine an AI-powered auto-correct that turned every ‘thank you’ into ‘I love you’ and ‘sorry’ into ‘I’m a dancing unicorn’. While it created some awkward moments, it also brought smiles and laughter to those who received the unexpected messages.
8: The Songwriting AI
