My favourite (inconsequential, but incredibly stupid) automatic AI question/answer from Google :
I was looking for German playwright Brecht's first name. The answer was Bertolt. It's a pretty simple question, so that at least was correct.
However, among the initial "frequently asked questions", one was "What is the name of the Armored Titan?"
Somehow Google decided it would randomly answer a question about manga/anime Attack on Titan in there. The only link between that question and my query is the answer, Bertolt (so of course, it wasn't in my query). Because there's a guy called Bertolt too in that story.
By the way, Attack on Titan's Bertolt is not the armoured titan.
