Google Play's Twitter account, most likely using AI, just posted the most baffling piece of Sonic the Hedgehog content imaginable.

    - "Short king" - Uses the tallest and lankiest version of Sonic.
  • @CosmicTornado1
    The official Sonic twitter account replying saying “What are you doing?” That got me the most, lmao
  • @TimoIvvie
    I hate Brand Twitter but the official Sonic account coming in with “what are you doing” is honestly hilarious
  • @Mystik3eb
    Sonic's official twitter just coming in all no-punctuation lower case "what are you doing" and ratioing the thread just kills me.
  • @JsYTA
    Short King = Tallest Sonic Design
  • @RynimationYT
    This is why Sonic Dream Team was only released on Apple Arcade

    This is the reason ChatGPT still says, "ChatGPT can make mistakes. Consider checking important information."
  • @Boooo
    normally I don't like jumping to "ai wrote this", but there is no chance a human had input in any of this.
  • @kirbymaster5
    Stuff like this and Willy's Chocolate Experience have me convinced that some people think AI gives them the license to be braindead.

    1991 Arlo. The thumbnail? Rotund. Husky. 1080p glory.

    This video depicts the gaming YouTuber "Scott the Woz" discussing the 2022 video game "Super Mario Bros." for the Sega Saturn.

    The first one looked like it could have been an honest mistake, but then they just kept getting worse...
  • @salmence100
    When even the largest tech company can't figure out how to properly use AI, maybe it's a sign lmao
  • @MySnugglePuppy
    What makes the official Sonic account saying “what are you doing” so funny is the fact that despite all of the awful fake conversations that brand accounts usually have you can just tell that this is completely genuine.
  • @CrashingThunder
    This is definitely one of those moments where you wish you could be a fly on the wall where these decisions are made
  • @adrianporter5749
    Can confirm that the Sonic Boom photo is an AI “enhanced” photo. Other characters have been removed and these strange clouds are in their place. They even edited out part of the ACTUAL clouds that were behind him. A shadow (not Shadow, a shadow) was cast on Sonic in that image and now that has weirdly been made lighter. And yes, this is 2014, not 1993.
  • @Geneolgia
    It's baffling how they skipped from 2006 directly to 2018, even though the early 2010s is the period of time which saw a lot of original mobile games and ports for Android, all of them found in Google Play.
  • @amateraceon5202
    The funniest thing about this thread is the very first post picturing Sonic 1 and calling it 8-bit
  • @bailey64
    Something that really comes across as AI is that the 'creator' of this list vaguely knew '2006' and 'Sonic' had a strong link but was unaware of what that could possibly be, so it just made something vague up. Since what are the odds that a human picked the year 2006 in particular yet makes no mention of Sonic 06?
  • @FungiGamer
    Bit of a poetic irony for Sonic to break a machine, huh?
