AI Roasts Michigan And It Does Not Hold Back

What happens when you ask an artificial intelligence to roast the state of Michigan? We decided to find out by prompting ChatGPT, and the results showed that AI definitely doesn't pull any punches.

It seems nothing we hold dear in Michigan was safe from the AI's sharp digital wit. It took aim at everything from our beloved coney dogs and unique Vernors ginger ale to our local stores and favorite vacation getaways.

No Topic Was Off Limits for the AI

The AI even poked fun at the classic Michigander habit of using our hands as a map to show people where we're from. But the roasts didn't stop there. Other targets included:

• The intense rivalry between the Spartans and the Wolverines.
• Our notoriously bumpy and construction-filled roads.
• Even the treasured, car-free paradise of Mackinac Island wasn't spared from the critique.

It's All in Good Fun

Before anyone gets too offended, remember that this is all in the spirit of good fun. This isn't about tearing down our great state, but rather celebrating it in a way that only true Michiganders can—with a bit of gentle teasing and a nod to our shared experiences. If we can't laugh at ourselves, what's the point?

The sad truth is, it's hard to argue with many of these observations. It just stings a little to be so accurately called out by a machine.
