Hii SS A.i. thinks it was the Med' naval base!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it is time to scuttle the A.I. pull the plug, nice idea but really so much controversy over the daft answers.

It has put me off any Medical diagnosis offered by computer. I did have a Q & A with a medical A.I. a few years ago. I had and still have a partially numb finger, pinky on left hand. Gets left out of most things anyway.

Are you in pain?
No!
How much pain on a scale 1-10?
0.

Where does it hurt?

I gave up!
I wanted some exercises and found them separately on a Physical Therapy site.

Needless to say the exercises were well meaning but ineffective, perhaps they found them on another A.I. site.

HMS Talbot was a stone frigate. The RN submarine base in the Med.

Well, I am not going to answer this, as after some research I cannot find the answer. Be pleased to know what the Ai thinks it was. Maybe someone could enlighten me 😀

Another lucky guess! (even if the AI answer was wrong, LOL)

Wrong! HMS Talbot was the RN submarine base on Malta...

A.I. is at it again, thinks I have been before but does not reveal posts!
Roy

Tough question got it wrong again, maybe better on Sunday 👍

I came on yesterday and my score had gone had gone down 3%.
I got the question correct and it went up 3%.
I came on today and yes my score had gone down 3% again.
I have got todays question correct again and it's gone up 3% again.
HOW THE HELL is this scoring working.
I bet my score will go down again tonight for NO reason.🙈🙉🙊🤕.

Well, let's see. The date is wrong and the Scorpion went down off the Azores, which are NOT in the Pacific.
Beyond that, great question.....😮😮

If I keep on like this I am going to be in negative scoring 😁
Philuk👍

Doug,

I understand you response now. I would have been 9. I remember some pictures in the newspaper, I thought I would have been older when she sank

PS to my post # 3463 -
The only anomaly that I see in the scoring is that country scores seem to be -
Answers correct/answers given (played) %
whereas member 30 day scores are-
Answers correct/30 %.
Why? Ask Stephen😉
Ciao, Doug😎

Oh oh another bad quess today, now I am #20. I better do better on Saturday👍

Hi Ross,
No. I did not say that Thresher sank in 1968.
She sank in 1963. I vaguely remember it, I was 11 & 3/4 then 😁
"USS Thresher (SSN-593) was the lead boat of her class of nuclear-powered attack submarines in the United States Navy. She was the U.S. Navy's second submarine to be named after the thresher shark.

On 10 April 1963, Thresher sank during deep-diving tests about 350 km (220 mi) east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, killing all 129 crew and shipyard personnel aboard. Her loss was a watershed for the U.S. Navy, leading to the implementation of a rigorous submarine safety program known as SUBSAFE. "

There was an excellent docu about her on NatGeo channel a few years ago.

Cheers, Doug😎

Thanks Doug

I was old enough to remember the Thresher loss, which as you say,
puts it in 1968

Quite so Nick👍
Another complete AI bust, absolute b******s😠
Various sources confirm ...
"USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was a Skipjack-class nuclear-powered submarine that served in the United States Navy, the sixth vessel and second submarine to carry that name.

Scorpion sank on 27 May 1968. She is one of two nuclear submarines that the U.S. Navy has lost, the other being USS Thresher.[4] She was one of the four submarine disappearances in 1968, the others being the Israeli submarine INS Dakar, the French submarine Minerve, and the Soviet submarine K-129.

The wreckage of the Scorpion remains in the North Atlantic Ocean with all its armaments and nuclear reactor. "

"Where is the wreckage of the USS Scorpion?
NH 97223-KN Wreck of USS Scorpion (SSN-589)
Description: Wreck of USS Scorpion (SSN-589) Atlantic Ocean (August 1986).... Depth 10,000 feet, 400 miles southwest of the Azores; A view of the detached sail of the nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Scorpion (SSN-589) laying on the ocean floor."

Date wrong, ocean wrong. No idea where our disastrous AI is looking for it's info but it sure as hell isn't where I have learned to look over the last few decades, including many official navy sites. Since the last 'enhancements' OotD has only got badly worse.

Apart from data corrections on future questions this is my last active ('playing') entry on this nonsense quiz. It is simply not worth the effort anymore.

@ Stephen: Court-martial Capt. AI, demote him to Unable seaman and discharge him dishonourably.
Yours, sadly disappointed, Doug☹️

Well that's wrong, Scorpion was lost near The Azores...

DG,
Re: "surely someone out of the "Top members played in the past 30 days" should be @ or close to 100%?? "

No way Jose😉
Top members scores are calculated over the last 30 days.
So if our esteemed member answered 1 or 2 or? questions correctly his personal score would be 1/30 or 2/30 expressed as a percentage. I.e. 3.33r% or 6.66r%.
Way way way way below the 20th position on the leader board.
The only way he could have 100% on the leader board would be if he had answered all the last 30 questions correctly. I suspect he only answered one so far and got it right.
Maybe more, but not yet 30.
Cheers, Doug😎

That person that has 100 % should get a ticket to the game show "Jeopardy!

For one member to be correct 100% of the time (Czech Republic), surely someone out of the "Top members played in the past 30 days" should be @ or close to 100%??

Hi all, putting the cursor on your own name reveals a mystery. Where does 16 right, played 26 (for me) come from? As I have had the last 4or 5 correct, those numbers have not changed. My score goes up and down from 50 - 53%, down from 100%.

As we modellers have an interest in scale, numbers and calculations we are the wrong group to get screwed up data results.

Roy

I got it correct today WHoopee!!!🤣🤣. But I opened up and my % had dropped again even thought yesterday I got it correct, This is happening almost every day this week. It's kin stupid🙈🤕. I don't mind being bottom of the list as at school I was mostly in the corner with the dunce's hat on, but there you go. I'll just go ⛵sailing on tying to get higher. It's now been months since I had a 100% score since the higher archery changed the scoring system again. It's like being back in the classroom and I'm 6 again, I'l go and get the cane and book, I used to get that at least once a week or the ruler across the knuckles. 🤕🤕.

Well that one got me a bit confused. As an Electronics Engineer, I thought I can't get this wrong because I know my stuff. However with the option of the Telegraph being in the answer I had two choices. Bell's patent was for "the method of, and apparatus for, transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically" Of course we all call it a Telephone. Anyway I chose the obvious and got it right. 😁

Oops got it wrong, tomorrow will be better😊

Get a lodestone, they are all the rage round my way. ..

I think I'm gonna make me an Astrolabe out of Lego to see if I can navigate!! 😁

In Budapest City Centre today. I am looking for a Sunstone so that I can find my way home.😳

Another god guess for me today😊👍

When in doubt, answer Sunstone!

Same for me ,ai seems to have a liking for sun stones🤔.
Philuk

I got today's question right, but my overall percentage has gone down. Something isn't working as it should, I think.

I think these questions bring into question whether the A.I may in fact be suffering from dementia. Again the data does not work out.
Roy

Not again!🙄💤💤💤
Capt AI is deliberately circumventing Stephen's NO REPEATS order.
Gross insubordination.
😎

Further random checks of other members %'s makes me wonder where the calculations are done, they are not accurate.
Roy

Hi all I am now wondering how the scoring works? Last 3 questions correct but no change in score!
Perhaps A.I. is unfamiliar with maths?
Roy

Finally I was as wrong as most of us😂

Wow got this one right today, just a lucky guess😊

Amazing England is a island and yet as a country we seem to know very little about history of our navy , I can say this because I included myself .🙄
Philuk👍

Hi Nick,
Good idea, thanks for the prompt👍
I think on balance I will go with just CLOT! (Not an acronym😉)
Cheers, ciao, tschüss, adieu, adiós, doei, Ваше здоровье, veb, Doug😎

I prefer CLOI I Complete Lack of Intelligence intelligence...

Ye Gods and little fishes!
You might just as well ask 'When was 1915?'.🙄
AI: Awesome Idiocy.
Wonder who the 6% are who went for 1920.
Probably the same guys who thought submarines had nuclear power in 1905😂🤣
Hey ho. All good fun what!
Cheers All, Doug😎

Rather than artificial intelligence, normal intelligence would be enough for us.

I had to read it twice it was staring me in the face🤔
Philuk👍

Today's question didn't really require any specialist knowledge - even I got it right!

Oh Dear! That is the most stupid question yet! What happened in 1915 can only be what happened in 1915 and not the distant future. The detail is irrelevant as logically there is only one correct answer!

Score must be ascending now!
Roy

I have the feeling I have been supplying all the right answers but in the wrong order!

I shall be glad to move further south for questions. Once I was 100% and of course the only way is then down and down and down.

Please no more ice and submarine questions for a bit it is getting tedious and also contraversial as to the answers. I checked later on Wiki and the answers given do not stack up with Wiki data. So where do the answers come from? Is Wikipedia wrong?

I am told AI is the future and if so it looks like the future is dodgy based on contraversial data and interpretation.
AI is based on known data and popular belief so does that mean that different data bases from other countries will have correct data? Consider China and America their view of facts and where they are obtained will be different.

Speaking to a well versed IT expert leaves me worried that soon we shalll be faced with disbelieving most News and TV as it will take more time to work out where the truth does lie, than watching the TV. So do not watch any.

I have watched a video of what appeared to be a well known film star in court and 'surprising' the judge on his expertise. When another similar story emerged I realised this was AI inspired and total fiction. The over descriptive rhetoric for scenes and peoples feelings is a good clue.

On our QoD quizz many answers have been challenged to the extent that on one occasion the obviously wrong answer was washed out. What can I believe? And how obscure should questions be?

regards to all
Roy

I feel like I am falling of the bottom of the list
Philuk👍

This use to be fun, but now it is just frustrating. 😀 At least I am at the bottom. It puts me front and center!😂😂😂

Quite so Simple👍
I also went for the 'correct' wrong right!
No idea what calendar AI is using.🙄
Cheers, Doug😎

Well I got this correct as I have been researching polar sub expeditions. But good old Ai got it wrong again. Skate (SSN-578) was the first to surface at the North Pole on the 17th March 1959. It did surface again in 1962 but that was August 62, when it did the first rendezvous with the Seadragon (SSN-584) Both subs surfaced. A commemorative envelope was produced to celebrate the occasion.
