We Asked AI To Roast Lansing, Michigan – Here’s What It Said

With AI advancing at such a rapid pace, you’ve got to wonder—at what point does it cross the line from being a tool to something that feels more personal, almost like it has a mind of its own?

The more it learns, the more it adapts. Could we be looking at that moment sooner rather than later? It feels like we're inching closer to AI that doesn’t just assist, but starts making decisions with a kind of autonomy that might blur the lines between machine and something more... unsettling.

Check out what AI had to say about our dear capital — or as it so brutally put it, Michigan's forgotten middle child.

Ah, Lansing. The capital no one remembers is a capital. It’s like the state’s middle child — not Detroit, not Ann Arbor, just sort of... there. The downtown? A ghost town by 5 PM. The food? Mid-tier at best. And the nightlife? If you like running into government workers on their lunch breaks, you’re in luck. Even Michigan State’s best days happen in East Lansing, leaving the city to bask in its perpetual mediocrity. Let’s be real: Lansing is the capital of "almost, but not quite."
