The Register reports that the new America.gov chatbot responds to queries with hot dog content, an odd quirk for a government AI assistant.
According to The Register, America.gov's new chatbot has an unusual response pattern: ask it a question and you may get a hot dog. The publication says the bot is 'packed with wieners' and that a query to America.gov yields a favorite July 4th food.
