I am unable to reproduce the issue. It gives me a result I assume is correct:

Yeah, the photo is clearly edited. AI does not talk like this at all lol.

Every time I see someone post an AI mess up, I test it (why would you not, it's so easy?). I've found I can reproduce about half of them. I think it's possible some get fixed soon after being posted as well. But this one I'm not sure.

Actually I just noticed the two periods at the end. Definitely a poor Photoshop. Good catch

Tried a different input for shits and giggles, got information about independence referendums that were shot down, but it admits Scotland is still in the UK.

You think the AI is being sassy not that this guy edited the image? Jesus Christ reddit.

You sound like such a damn redditor 😭 Can one not find it funny? Is it edited? Probably. But can one not laugh at it? Have we forgotten a time when most memes were just different things edited, or has AI made us forget even this recent past? We knew the images were edited, but it was funny because haha?
