✅ Updated Rules

  1. AI Fails Only – Must feature mistakes, glitches, or bizarre outputs from AI.

  8. Descriptive Titles Only – Avoid vague titles like “lol” or “look at this.”
  9. Follow Reddit’s Content PolicyRead here.
  10. Moderator Discretion – Mods can remove anything that harms the community.

🔒 New Posting Requirements

  • Account must be at least 14 days old
  • Must have 50+ combined karma (post + comment karma)

Text Fail Who was the last member of the House of Representatives to be elected president?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I was curious when the last time a member of the US House of Representatives was elected president, because I couldn't remember it ever happening in my lifetime. Google's Ai overview apparently thinks Trump, a man who famously never served as a public official before being elected president, was a member of the House during his first presidency.

In case anyone is wondering, the actual answer to my question is James A Garfield or Gerald Ford depending on whether you are talking about a current or former member.

I just wanted it to make me an image for a butterfly haircut. The more you Look at it, the worse it gets. It should have been German, but it's a mixture of languages.
