Jin Daily Trivia – Why Did RTM Make Such a Simple Mistake in ASEAN Leaders’ Names?

During the 47th ASEAN Summit live broadcast, Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) mistakenly announced the names of three ASEAN leaders:

Indonesia’s President Prabowo was referred to as Joko Widodo (the former president),

Thailand’s Prime Minister Srettha was called Anutin (the former PM), and

Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong was named Lee Hsien Loong (the former PM).

So, why did RTM make such a simple mistake? 🤔

The most likely reason is pretty straightforward — they probably used an outdated AI model to prepare the speech script and didn’t bother to fact-check the results.

Here’s an example of how an older ChatGPT model might respond compared to a newer one.

For companies planning to integrate AI models into their systems, this is a good reminder: 👉 Choose the right AI partner — one that provides ongoing support and keeps their models regularly updated.
