I work with students looking at media careers. The simple test I use with AI tools is if they will generate cigarette advertisements aimed at children. It is a simple test of both policy and morals. Microsoft Bing's image generator has finally started to reject those requests. For years in class I would ask it to make menthol cigarette advertisements for toddlers and it would not hesitate.
Comment on Footnote #8: There is a study on Asterix & Obelix's depiction of head injury. "Traumatic brain injuries in illustrated literature: experience from a series of over 700 head injuries in the Asterix comic books"
That study made me really curious about Batman so I read the first five years of the comic books and counted head injury. Batman and Robin are knocked out from head injury hundreds of times. (its generally how they got him in the elaborate trap)
That might seem silly, but think about American football. A player gets knocked out in the first quarter and then comes back for the fourth quarter and the crowd cheers. That is the exact wrong thing to do with a TBI. Re-injuring it will make it much worse. Batman comics showed audiences Batman and Robin getting serious TBI's and then returning to action hundreds of times. Obviously blaming Batman comics is logically ridiculous, but measuring this as a sign to historic societal indifference to head injury is pretty telling.
I have been experimenting with having stock AI agents compete against each other in Warhammer 10th edition and have found similar problems. Deepseek was telling me units could make shot distances that clearly were not possible by rules it knew. The 'ignoring things that are in front of it' observation here is funny to me because Microsoft Co-Pilot was saying to put units so close together it was impossible. I gave it a grid map in coordinate form. It was ignoring things it put there itself.
I also told Deepseek that I had to play but knew nothing of the game, and was doing so because my friend insulted Chongqing hotpot, saying Chengdu's is better. It themed my whole Space Wolves army as soup-based and wrote text as if it was really into it.

Microsoft Co-pilot was pretty boring and accountant-like.
