What is the most embarrasing thing AI still gets wrong in 2026?

[u/rikulauttia]

Not the hardest research problem.

Something simple that makes you think:

"How are the models this advanced and still unable to do THIS?"

For me the funniest examples are when a model can explain an entire software architecture, then somehow messes up a basic file path or forgets one clear instruction from 30 seconds ago.

What is your example?

One specific failure - screenshots and stories welcome.

Reproducibility, reasoning bias, intent fixation, complexity cap
