Playing with Ai in this digital age:
I tested an Ai’s understanding of the term absurd with the prompt:

Cecil Bottomley, Enthusiastic Vegetable Grower and Budding Art Collector.“Before Hedgeneering, my prize-winning marrow was just a lump. Now, thanks to their innovative use of repurposed cogwheels, it’s a kinetic sculpture that also happens to be delicious (in theory).”
Penelope Featherstonehaugh, Homeowner with Architectural Rodent Issues.“I asked for a garden shed. What I got was a miniature steel-framed geodesic dome that the local squirrels are now using as a high-tech nut storage facility. Five stars for ambition, three for squirrel deterrence.”
Geoffrey Ainsworth, Amateur Meteorologist and Keen Observer of Feline Sentiments.“They once built me a weather vane that predicted the emotional state of my neighbour’s cat. It was surprisingly accurate, albeit utterly useless.”
