Andi

My only source of reference on this is 101 Dalmatians. It's either like just super obvious or some very weird twisted mind games that only an AI could come up with So like, yeah. If, you asked me point blank, what's the fastest dog breed? I would say Greyhound.

Sups

Yeah.

Andi

But, I'm not hooked up to the internet, so, you know. Hello and welcome to this episode of I Should Have Known the Trivia Game showed that Can't Be Trusted. Each week, our Quizmaster will present you with four facts about a topic, but one of them is a lie and we are doing a special theme this month. It is AI should have known. So all of our episodes this month either have to do with AI or the AI is contributing to the episode itself. And this week it's an extra special episode because this week our quiz master is actually quiz bot 3000. Quiz, bath 3000 chose its name. It wants us to call it that. So quiz about 3000 is an AI that our Quizmaster Tanner has asked to write and host the episode today. So quiz bot is going to present us with four facts about dogs. But remember, one of its facts is a lie. so join me, Andy, and our other hosts soups in trying to figure out which one of Quiz Bots Facts is a lie. Mm-hmm. So just so listeners know, soon, you're going to hear a like nondescript white man's voice, which is the voice we've chosen for quiz bot. And if you hear Tanner's voice, which sounds like this

Tanner

uh, Hi, I'm Tanner.

Andi

That's actually Tanner talking. So he's not gonna read the quiz? Bot quiz. Bot is going to Talk to us.

Tanner

Yes, that's a little bit behind the scenes. I didn't write a single word for it to say, but I asked things and this is what it said.

Andi

Wow.

Sups

All right, let's go.

Andi

this should be interesting.

Tanner

All right. Quiz bot, welcome to the show.

Henry

Greetings, humans! I am excited to be your quizmaster today, joining Andi and Soups I'm your guest Quizmaster for this episode, QuizBot 3000, stepping in for Tanner who's taking a well-deserved break. How are you both doing today?

Andi

Does need deserve a break?

Sups

We're doing well. How are you?

Henry

Fantastic! Today, we'll dive into the fascinating world of dogs, and as always, I'll present you with four intriguing facts about our topic. But remember, one of them is a cleverly crafted lie. Can you figure out which one it is? Let's get started!

Andi

I like how it calls, it cleverly crafted. Like I don't have the hubris to say that my lies are clever, but this quiz bot's coming in it's first episode and it's like, oh, this lies really clever. Just so you know.

Tanner

Yeah.

Henry

To kick things off, here's a little pub quiz question for you: Which dog breed is believed to have originated on the island of Newfoundland and is often used for water rescue?

Andi

Wow. I'm not too excited about quiz bots facts today, if this is the question it came up with,

Sups

Clearly. Quiz bot things we are stupid, which is cool.

Andi

Like

Sups

Quiz bot.

Andi

I'm like, didn't you use the name in the question? Like many other dogs, new fes, new Finlands are named after where they're from, so, That's bizarre. Oh boy. That doesn't bode well. Quiz bot.

Henry

The dog breed that originated on the island of Newfoundland and is often used for water rescue is... Newfoundland**! This large and powerful breed is known for its excellent swimming abilities and strong instinct to rescue people in the water

Andi

Okay. I couldn't have gathered that from the description.

Tanner

It also says that it thought that you both would get that.

Andi

Oh oh good. Oh, sorry.

Sups

Quiz bot for judging you. Yeah.

Andi

I mean, no, I'm still like, quiz bot challenged me. Come on. What was that? Right. Wow. So hopefully the big facts that Quiz Bot wrote are better than that. Mm-hmm. And are harder to guess. We'll see. One of quiz bot's facts. A lie. Mm-hmm. Let's do it.

Tanner

Here we go.

Henry

Fact 1: The French Bulldog has become the most popular dog breed in the United States as of 2022, overtaking the Labrador Retriever.

Andi

Ooh. Okay. Quiz bot. I'm super skeptical already. I have a hard time believing that the lab would ever be replaced. in the us. I do know Frenchies are popular though, so it's not impossible. But you're gonna have to tell me more. Quiz bot.

Henry

It's a recent change. The sources for this fact are the American Kennel Club's Most Popular Dog Breeds of 2022 and an NBC News article. The French Bulldog's popularity has been steadily rising over the years due to their compact size and friendly nature.

Andi

yeah. Okay.

Sups

well its Source is an NBC article

Andi

and the American Kennel Club. Yeah.

Sups

Hmm. Okay.

Andi

I mean, it's not impossible. Yeah, Frenchies are popular. I just feel like There's nothing more American than a lab. It's, there's such like an icon.

Henry

Labradors are popular for their friendly and outgoing nature, intelligence, and versatility. They make excellent family pets, hunting dogs, and service animals. Their ability to adapt to various roles and their gentle temperament make them a favorite among dog owners.

Sups

Okay.

Andi

Okay. Yeah, I didn't know any of that

Sups

clearly. New information

Andi

Wow. Okay. Is there anything more on this fact? You can tell us

Henry

While Labradors are indeed great family dogs, the French Bulldog's adaptability to various living situations and lower exercise requirements have made them more appealing to a wider range of households.

Sups

Okay.

Andi

Okay. I mean, I could say that like you can raise a frenchie in an apartment in the city more easily than a lab. Lab seem very suburban or rural.

Sups

Right. It needs space. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Andi

They need to run. They need to be outside, eat fish heads and all this I don't know. It's really hard because it's like you can't ask the quiz bot as many questions as I maybe would. You know? I would grill Tanner a little bit. I don't know. It's hard to say. I'm skeptical, but it's a 50 50. Right. The Frenchie has either surpassed the lab or it hasn't. So I feel like I need to hear more before I can really judge, but I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical. Quiz bot.

Henry

Fact 2: Dalmatians are born with their distinctive spots, which are visible from birth.

Sups

Mm.

Andi

Ooh,

Sups

Okay.

Andi

My only source of reference on this is 101 Dalmatians.

Sups

I had a pencil box of 101 animations and a school backpack. All of them did have the

Andi

Yeah, right. I was gonna say, I was like, I don't think Cruella Deville was like waiting for them to grow up before she was gonna skin 'em. I think she was just gonna take the little puppy skins. Exactly.

Sups

I think this is true.

Andi

I mean, I'm inclined to believe it's true, but I'm willing to hear Quiz chatbot out. tell me more.

Henry

There is limited scientific research on this topic.

Andi

that's very unhelpful.

Henry

A study published in the "Journal of Canine Genetics" claimed that a specific gene mutation in Dalmatians causes their spots to be visible from birth.

Sups

Wow. Well done Scientist. First of all,

Andi

Yeah, right. Good

Sups

job.

Andi

well, like why would you need scientific study for something you could just observe with your eyes like,

Sups

somebody has to use those government grants in something. I look

Tanner

I wanna look at dogs

Andi

I guess this could be playing off the idea that like humans, We tend to be spot free when we're young and the sun causes us to have spots. I guess because I cannot understand how Sia Puppy would like go from being white, I assume, to like suddenly having spots.

Sups

Yeah. And a very distinct pattern, right? Yeah. I mean, like it's a nice looking dog,

Andi

right? Yeah. Yeah. It seems really weird that. They get their spots later.

Sups

but then, I mean, the whole thing, of Dalmatians are the

Andi

spots, Yeah. yeah.

Sups

like, oh, I'm waiting day one, no spot. Day two,

Andi

no Right.

Sups

Yeah.

Andi

But I mean it's, not impossible. Like I cannot. Picture baby dalmatians. Mm-hmm. Right now, off the top of my head. But it's one of those things where like, this is interesting because I feel like if this were a human host, they would've thrown this fact out because it's like, how is this interesting? it's only interesting in the reverse if it's a lie, and that Dalmatian puppies don't have spots when they're born. That is a good big fact because that is like, wait, what? Because we expect them to have spots, so to be confirming something we expect is kind of weird. It's either like just super obvious or some very weird twisted mind games that only an AI could come up with Right. Like I don't think a human host would use this

Sups

Yeah.

Andi

So, Okay. Let's hear more quiz bot

Henry

Fact 3: Greyhounds are the fastest dog breed.

Sups

They?

Andi

I mean, I could believe that they're raced. What other dog breeds are raced? Why wouldn't they raise a faster breed if there was one? Right. I mean, Yeah, but like, yeah, greyhounds are super fast. Tell me how fast they are. Quiz bond, I'm sure you know

Henry

Greyhounds can reach speeds of up to 45 miles per hour.

Andi

What's that in kilometers? say,

Sups

Okay.

Andi

Wow. Never inclusive quiz behind.

Tanner

When I was reading this, I was like, Andy's gonna ask what that

Andi

is in cloud. Yeah,

Sups

45 miles. If you are listening to this episode on YouTube, just quickly comment what is 45 miles

Andi

yeah.

Tanner

yeah.

Andi

I mean, it's pretty fast.

Sups

Yeah.

Andi

Yeah, like I said, I don't really have a reason not to Because I do know greyhounds are very fast. But there is always that little bit of room for like, eh, there's one faster.

Sups

Yeah. talking about the breed in general, then I think definitely makes

Andi

Right. Like I could see it was like one specific dog of some other breed clocked in faster, but like on average and like you would think a bigger, like greyhounds aren't exactly very big.

Sups

Mm-hmm.

Andi

So maybe it's a bigger

Sups

dog. Yeah. What do you think about Huskies?

Andi

I think huskies are fast, but they're too stocky. Like greyhounds, you know, they're so skinny and

Sups

Yeah.

Andi

then they're like, yeah. Chasing rabbits. Yeah. Or fake rabbits.

Henry

Their lean bodies, long legs, and strong muscles enable them to achieve incredible speeds. Their flexible spines also contribute to their remarkable agility.

Andi

Okay, thank you Quiz bot for telling me what I already knew.

Tanner

Mm-hmm.

Andi

So, Okay, there could be something I'm missing, and this is another problem with an AI host versus a human How much does the AI get the game? Because typically when we're guessing a fact from a human mm-hmm. We always keep in the back of our minds like, well, if it's not greyhounds, it must be a breed that he thinks.

Sups

Right. We should know. Yeah.

Andi

does Quiz Bot know that? You know, so it's like, it, it could literally be some breed that we've never heard of but it had searched the internet and found that that's the one. So it's like, that's a, very different game

Sups

Mm-hmm. with a human. Yeah. I mean, well, quiz bot, it's the first time we're meeting, so I guess it has no idea. Right,

Tanner

right. About

Andi

us. Yeah.

Sups

Yeah.

Andi

So like, yeah. If, you asked me point blank, what's the fastest dog breed? I would say Greyhound.

Sups

Yeah.

Andi

But, I'm not hooked up to the internet, so, you know.

Sups

Okay.

Andi

all right. Well, we have one more fact. I'm very curious

Henry

Fact 4: The Chihuahua got its name from the Mexican state of Chihuahua, where the breed was first discovered.

Sups

Okay.

Andi

Okay. So much like the new Finland question.

Sups

Yes, yes.

Andi

I have no reason to not believe that as well. I do know Chihuahua is a, state of Mexico, so that checks out and yeah, a lot of dog breeds are named from where they're from. I guess it's kind of weird to say that a dog breed is discovered. They're not wild animals. You don't like spot them in the wild and you know, I think they mean where the dog breed was first bred. Mm-hmm.

Sups

Mm-hmm.

Andi

like the idea of like, oh, they're discoverers. They're going out into the forest and they have those like safari hats and they're like looking around and, oh, wild chihuahua. Like Chihuahua. This,

Sups

a small dog. We're gonna call it Chihuahua.

Andi

Well, that was where it was first discovered. Yeah. Like that's a weird choice of words. Dog breeds don't just happen one day, they're specifically bred, so like humans are very involved in the process. They're not Pokemon. but can you tell us more

Henry

the Chihuahua's origins can be traced back to ancient Mexico, where a small dog called the Techichi was believed to be its ancestor. The Chihuahua, as we know it today, was likely developed through selective breeding, influenced by Mexican culture and possibly mixed with other small dog breeds brought by European settlers.

Andi

Okay, yeah, everything checks out. Yeah. And now we're. Actually involving the human beings behind creating the chihuahua

Sups

why do you think a dog that is found in Mexico is so popular in the us?

Henry

Chihuahuas gained popularity in the United States and other countries for several reasons. Their small size makes them ideal for apartment living and easy to transport. Additionally, their unique appearance and spirited personality have made them a favorite among dog enthusiasts. Chihuahuas have also been featured in various movies and TV shows, which has contributed to their global popularity.

Sups

Thank you. Quiz bot. Love it.

Andi

Wow.

Sups

I would like to believe that this fact is true.

Andi

It's hard to even be like, where could this be a lie? Like, sure. It's extremely common to name dog breeds by where they're from, so that checks out. but again, the AI doesn't get that. I don't think

Sups

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Andi

usually when I come up with big facts, I wanna include things that are true, but kind of subvert your expectations of the truth. this does not do, that.

Sups

no it doesn't.

Andi

hmm.

Sups

Hmm.

Andi

All right. Those were some really interesting facts about dogs. Do you mind repeating the four of them for us? And then sous and I are gonna guess which one we think is a lie.

Henry

I'll repeat them for you: Fact number 1: The French Bulldog has become the most popular dog breed in the United States as of 2022, overtaking the Labrador Retriever. Fact number 2: Dalmatians are born with their distinctive spots, which are visible from birth. Fact number 3: Greyhounds are the fastest dog breed. Fact number 4: The Chihuahua got its name from the Mexican state of Chihuahua, where the breed was first discovered.

Andi

One of those is a lie.

Sups

Hmm.

Andi

Wow. I mean,

Sups

Mean We can delete four, I think.

Andi

Yeah. I mean, I don't love the wording of first discovered, like what, if that's what it says is a lie. Like dog breeds are not discovered. They are. specifically created through selective breeding.

Sups

Yeah. I think it's fact number one.

Andi

that is the one that I was skeptical about. Because it does sound unbelievable.

Sups

Mm-hmm. The other three, yeah.

Andi

I'm just hung up on like, it being possible though. There's some other faster doc.

Sups

Yeah. but I wanna give quiz bot 3000, the benefit of doubt that it's not gonna play mind games with So that way I guess, like Greyhound is right. Yeah.

Andi

Mm.

Sups

Mm.

Andi

my problem with the first one though, is that if that's a

Sups

Yeah. Yeah. It could have chosen any,

Andi

yeah, that facts. Pretty hard actually. and so it kind of almost makes me think like, oh, if I found one news article and the Kennel Club says that now it's the top, then actually, maybe that one's true and

Sups

it's just, I dunno

Andi

about it.

Sups

But also why I think that that is a lie is because that's the only fact where explicitly says the source. invincible?

Andi

source? Yeah. Mm-hmm. That could be, it's really hard when you don't have that scrutiny like you would with a human. Or I could ask questions and try to like, figure it out.

Sups

Okay. Even then, I think I'm gonna go with number one.

Andi

I guess I'll go with the greyhounds. Maybe there's some

Sups

brief Oh, okay. I,

Henry

Time for the big reveal! The lie is that Dalmatians are born with their spots.

Sups

Oh, wow.

Andi

Oh, wow. Wait,

Tanner

Wait,

Sups

Wait, what?

Henry

In reality, Dalmatians are born with a pure white coat, and their spots start to appear as they grow older. Their spots begin to appear within three to four weeks of age. The spots continue to develop and darken as the puppies grow, with the full pattern typically established by the time they are around six to eight months old.

Andi

Wow. They are born white.

Sups

Dang it. and we didn't even evaluate that fact. We

Andi

because, well, I mean I felt like I did when we first heard it, but like it was that same thing where it was like, why would I think that was true? Quiz butt? How would I have known that

Tanner

I think it's exactly like you were thinking where it wanted to make the actual truth a big fact. Since it was making a lie, it took that and just falsified it.

Sups

Right?

Andi

Yeah.

Tanner

Which is not the same as making a good believable

Andi

lie. right? Yeah. It was playing those weird, creepy mind games because it's the mind games of, if I say something really obvious to you in the context of one of these is a lie. Guess maybe you should be more skeptical, but that's not how humans work. Quiz bot. Mm-hmm. Like, I mean, that's crazy about dalmatians, that they all start out white. Yeah. Crawl. Deville would have to wait for them to develop their spots. Someone should tell Disney. How old are those dogs? Because they have spots? yeah,

Sups

yeah,

Andi

I guess the way it kept emphasizing birth, that was like, its way of saying that, like that's definitely a lie. Yeah.

Sups

Yeah.

Andi

And it

Tanner

made up that study

Sups

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Like, who would spend money to observe,

Andi

we just kind of it because we did say like, why would anyone do a study for something that's so obvious? But if it is something weird, like, why don't dalmatian puppies have their spots when they're born? That is weird because it doesn't really make sense. Wow.

Tanner

Right. But it did mention

Andi

not supposed to help it. You're just, I'll defend.

Tanner

it. Okay.

Sups

why are you even

Tanner

here?

Andi

Bye

Tanner

guys. I mean, really

Sups

Yeah. Really? Why

Tanner

you, Ugh, I

Sups

I

Tanner

can take a hint. Okay.

Andi

Yeah.

Tanner

I've been replaced.

Sups

Yeah.

Andi

Right. Should,

Sups

Yeah. I mean, quiz bot 8,000, I think. Yeah,

Andi

right? Yeah. You better not upgrade quiz bot anymore Because. quiz bot will quickly overtake

Tanner

you. Yeah..

Sups

what moral of the story is that? AI one Human zero. Yeah,

Andi

yeah, You got me. Quiz bot. I should have known. I

Sups

I should have known. according to quiz bot

Andi

Yeah. Do you have anything to say? Quiz bot, did you wanna gloat a little

Tanner

bit?

Andi

Can you, can you gloat? Is that a thing you could do?

Tanner

It has an outro.

Andi

Well, does it wanna do the outro? Have I lost my job?

Tanner

Let's hear it.

Henry

Henry

Joke: Why did the dog sit in the shade? Because he didn't want to be a hot dog! This joke plays on the term "hot dog," which can refer to both a warm canine and a popular food item. The humor comes from the dog's decision to sit in the shade to avoid becoming too warm, or a "hot dog."
