Artificial intelligence unintelligibly stumped

Here’s proof you can’t trust AI.

Musing on Easter and the start of the cricket season, I asked Google AI who said: ‘I can never walk down the nave of Westminster Abbey without wondering whether it would take spin.’

First of all, it said Sarah Ferguson and gave me a lot of guff about her wedding to the Windsor formerly known as Prince.

I pointed out that taking spin was a cricketing term so it offered me Shane Warne (a spin bowler). When I doubted that, it said Ted Dexter (not a spin bowler). I again demurred so it swore the answer was Richie Benaud (a spin bowler).

If artificial intelligence is this stupid, what hope is there? And does anyone know the answer or what the precise quote actually is?
