This is a continuation of the AI Generated podcast, "AIGovernance, Quantum Uncertainty and Data Privacy Frontiers." In this episode, a recent AI Hallucination that made the news is discussed. In an article by Victor Tangermann appearing on the Futurism website in January 2026,an incident is discussed where a generative AI solution was used to assist with weather forecasting. Unfortunately, in another incident of AI hallucinating, the solution being utilized created a non-existent town, adding the fictional "Whata Bod" Idaho. Fortunately, the name wasn't any more risqué thanthe inappropriate town name it created.
If you are planning to travel to "Whata Bod"...good luck finding the place...maybe generative AI can help you findit since it seems to know where it is.
This podcast episode discusses recent reports that highlighta significant failure at the National Weather Service, where artificial intelligence was used to generate weather maps that included hallucinated town names. These sources explain that staffing shortages led the agency torely on generative AI, resulting in the creation of fictional locations like "Whata Bod" in Idaho. While the agency claims these instances are rare, experts warn that such technological blunders can severely damage public trust and institutional authority. The incident reflects a broader concern regarding the hasty adoption of AI within government sectors without sufficient human oversight. Ultimately, these documents serve as a cautionary tale about the unreliability of AI generated visuals in critical public safety communications.
