Still better than quarter of.
What time is a “Quarter of 10”?
I could see it as 10:15, 9:45, 9:15, or 2:30. It’s stupid, and anybody who uses it is wrong.

A quarter of 10 would be 7:50.
Ah, good ole decimal time.
In Germany we say “dreiviertel acht” or “three quarter eight”. This will irrationally enrage people from Northern Germany.
Noooo only Berliners say it like that, and as a northern light it enrages me as I have to convert it to a more sensical time format.
It’s a thing in Bavaria as well. I’m trying to erase it from my vocabulary because I hate it too.
In Dutch you get fun stuff like 16.35 being vijf over half vijf, being 5 past half five. I’m sure German is similar in that regard.
Would ppl from Northern Germany say that was 6? That would be my way of calculating 3 quarter 8 :)
Hungary has the same system. Or “half five” actually being 16:30. It’s been hella fun getting used to “half five” meaning 17:30. Constant confusion.
7:15 is a quarter till half past 7:00.
7:52 is half past a quarter to 8
The AI could at least draw the watch correcting to the “joke”
Wtf is 7:75? That would be 8:15. Quarter to eight is 7:45.
Or am I just super old and whooshing on the joke? Maybe it’s an AI equivalent of eight fingers or two left hands?
Yep, you wooshed the joke. The joke is that ¾=75%.
Well yes duh 75% is ¾ that much I got. So I guess the joke is AI wouldn’t, because it hasn’t learned to tell time, just as it’s not sure about fingers…
You brought rationality to an irrational topic. How dare you

To all the people saying it’s “AI slop”, it’s not. This image is on a blog from 2014.

At least run it through a reverse image search before making any accusations.

The reverse image search spotted it well, but it isn’t the same image. It’s very likely the source where the image generator got its ideas from though: lemmy.world/post/31578519/17746077

They don’t look the same and it doesnt look like differences that can be explained by photoshop.
