My gaming group calls the miniature ones caltrops.

Just for fun, I asked it how to say "I am fifteen years old" in Spanish, mostly to see if it would tell me it had fifteen anuses. It didn't do that, but it did have a more correct Spanish accented male voice say, "Tengo fifteen años." No translation of the number. #GoogleGemini

Note that for the last several years, before the last AI "improvement," I was able to ask it for translations and receive them pronounced correctly with no issues. #GoogleGemini #AISucks

I then asked it to translate the word "newspaper" into Spanish and it proceeded to find a sample sentence on the Internet and read it out with the most "freshman in Spanish 1" English accent I have ever heard. #GoogleGemini

I used to think that all the dystopian novels being set in a future fallen USA was just America-centrism and the product of American authors but now I realize it's because we were the most likely developed nation to let whatever happened to create the dystopia happen.
