I don’t see any AI, just a list that got sorted alphabetically when it shouldn’t have been.
The list would be extra fun in a foreign language but keeping the English order.
Not exactly this, but I hate it when devices translate all the languages in the language selection screen to the chosen language. So I have to guess what "English" is in Chinese. As if it wasn't difficult enough to navigate to said menu
You've reminded me of my favourite one of those that's probably mostly experienced by British people
On a country or language list I'm either looking for, "United Kingdom" "Great Britain", "Britain"/"British", "England"/” English"
Now that's kinda fair enough, it's usually UK, so I go to the bottom and start my hunt there.
The big problem comes when the list is ordered by whatever value they're using to represent the choice, not the text itself, so you get stuff like "United Kingdom" where "Great Britain" should be.
This is not uncommon
As a German, you often don't find Deutschland in a list behind Danmark, but between other countries starting with G.
I often wonder how many man hours have been wasted searching for the country. Especially when it's not strictly necessary.
Its a minimum wage job in the UK im applying for. Lets assume its a safe bet and put UK at the top of the list.
And forgetting that there are countries whos first floor is the ground floor.
AI might actually do better if used to sort here since it MIGHT give you the proper order
