24 Dumb Things People's Partners Said
We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the dumbest thing they ever heard their partner say. Here are the dumbest (and funniest) things they shared: "My husband's ex once ordered the half-roasted chicken off a menu while they were out to dinner one night, but proceeded to ask the waiter that they 'cook the chicken all the way rather than only halfway.'" "My husband and I were actually taking a tour at my son's new college, and the guide was talking about the Greek life on campus. I thought he was talking about real Greek people. I realized the mistake after I saw the look on my husband's face." "I had a girlfriend in high school who asked me how they knew which corner had gas in it. Most of the gas stations were on corners. She thought they drilled for gas and built the station because gas was on that corner!" "They said the wind is caused by the trees violently waving their leaves." "I had a boss who thought that the Arch in St. Louis was to honor McDonald's. You know the Golden Arches. It was so hard not to laugh in her face." "I never realized how often I use the word adjacent until I dated a guy, 39 years old with a master's degree, and I had to explain what adjacent meant every time I said it." "My ex, who was 28 at the time, was convinced that he was uncircumcised. I tried to explain to him that the foreskin covers the head and that he was, in fact, circumcised. He still didn't believe me and decided to ask his mom. The look on her face when we made eye contact was priceless." "I dated a girl who was very attractive and who I thought was smart. Somehow, we got on the subject of military time. She just could not get the concept. After multiple explanations, I realized I could never have children with her." "My boyfriend at the time and I were driving somewhere when he happened to mention he lost his license and needed to get a replacement. When I asked him how he lost it, he replied, 'I put it in the ATM. I didn't have my debit card, and when you go into the bank, you can just give them your ID to get cash out. I thought you could do the same with an atm machine.'' "My ex thought that evolution wasn't real. Their proof was that 'My daddy ain't a monkey.' I should've dumped them then and there." "My ex told me that Thanksgiving was on a Thursday again this year." "My ex's stubble was really irritating the skin on my face, so I asked him to start shaving every day. After the second day, he complained about razor burn. I had not noticed that he did not have shaving cream and just assumed he used soap when he shaved. Nope. He had been dry-shaving his entire life. Not even water. When I finally asked why he thought they made shaving cream, his answer was that it was a conspiracy to sell shaving cream that I had fallen for." "He asked me how they decide where to put islands on maps since they're always moving around. He truly thought islands were not connected to the Earth and that they floated freely around the ocean, occasionally running around." "They thought the thyroid gland was located in the thigh. It took the word of a medical doctor to convince them it is actually located in the neck!" "She asked me, 'Where do fish go in the winter?' We live in northern Illinois. I guess she thought they migrate like birds." "When my husband saw a bumper sticker that said 'FREE TIBET,' he asked, 'What's a tibet?'" "My ex refused to wash her hands after going to the bathroom because she claimed her fingers never touched the poop, only the TP did. Then she went straight to the kitchen to fix dinner. Goodbye!" "My ex received a small succulent plant from our realtor when we moved into the new house. About three months later, she was bragging to some guests about how well she was caring for it. They laughed when they realized she had been routinely watering an artificial plant. That stupidity was unfortunately only the tip of the iceberg!" "My ex thought Washington DC was in the state of Washington and had no idea what the first 13 colonies were. He said they didn't teach 'Geology' in Tucson." "My ex-girlfriend thought they would give writing materials, like books and pens, to new students at the university." "I told my ex that my big sister was pregnant and due to give birth in December. This was around November. So he asked me if my sister was currently 11 months pregnant. I told him to say that again slowly until he understood. He didn't. I had to tell him. What's ironic is that his mom is a midwife." "I invited my boyfriend, at the time, to come to my parents' house to have dinner. It was the first time I had invited a significant other over, and as we sat down to eat, he mused, out loud, that it was crazy how glasses leak water. He was referring to condensation. He thought the beads of water were leaking out of tiny pores in the glass. The whole table was just silent for a minute or so, not sure what to say." "He was shopping for car tires online and came across the metal rims without the rubber tires. He thought they were a new, sleek, and futuristic kind of tire and tried to insist on trying them out." And finally, "After we saw the movie The Martian, she said it was so amazing that someone could survive on Mars like that, and it made her proud of humanity. I was like…'.Wait, you know that's fiction, right? Humans haven't even been to Mars,' and she was shocked. She had read the book and seen the movie, thinking it was a 100% true story."

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: "Not a punk rock thing" to use artists' work to train AI for free
Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt said there needs to be an incentive to keep creatives paid and employed as AI disrupts the entertainment business at Axios' AI+ Summit in New York on Wednesday. The big picture: Even though many tech firms won't say it, their generative AI models have been trained on existing art including movies and books — and controversially without compensation.

DreamWorks co-founder Katzenberg likens AI to CGI revolution
Hollywood giant Jeffrey Katzenberg at Axios' AI+ Summit Wednesday likened the arrival of artificial intelligence to the advent of computer graphics in the 1990s, which revolutionized animation. The big picture: Whether Hollywood overcomes its unease to eventually embrace AI could be a bellwether for the technology's impact on other industries and on jobs. The dispute over AI was central to the 2023 writers strike, which ended with an agreement that included landmark rules on AI in projects. Zoom out: Katzenberg, a co-founder of DreamWorks and one-time Disney executive whose work includes films like "Shrek," reflected on the "huge" resistance to making "Toy Story" with the then-novel CGI technology. The people most afraid were the ones who would be disrupted, he said. "Everything that you are hearing today are the issues that we had to deal with," he said. Katzenberg continued, "Yes, there was disruption, but animation's never, ever been bigger than it is today." The bottom line: "AI isn't going to replace people, it's going to replace people that don't use AI," he said.
