    ChatGPT has revealed some scathing stereotypes of UK residents
    in a merciless study of what clichés exist in every county.

    The cutting-edge bot labeled Yorkshiremen as 'rude' while
    Londoners were slammed for their arrogance in the nationwide
    analysis.

    The truly insulting results came after MailOnline asked
    ChatGPT to expose what 'negative stereotypes' exist of people
    from our nation.

    While the bot insisted that it did not condone stereotypes, it
    offered a list of those associated with each place when prompted.

    Chat can be PROGRAMMED to lie (which is very very damned
    worrisome) ... but otherwise it tends to report the Truth
    as best it can determine from its body of references.

    In this case, it reported the "skinny" on various UK counties
    based on a large catalogue of public comments over the past
    few years.

    Me, I'd rather reside in "Lazy" Cornwall or "Uncouth"
    Durham or Lancashire ... everyplace else seems full of
    their own shite up to their eyebrows :-)

    The Sutherland "Rugged" has some appeal too, but I'm not
    sure if I could put up with Scots forever ....... :-)

    There was a little scene in the movie "2010 (Space Odyssey)"
    about how the intelligent computer 'HAL' had been ordered
    to lie, against it's prime directives/paradigm, and thus
    went murderously insane ...
