Perfectly cooked my arse

Where is the "runny yolk" in all that yellow chalk???

A dry-as-fuck shit poached egg. Google AI claims it is a perfectly cooked poached egg with a runny yolk. The yolk couldn't be drier if it tried.

A screenshot of a notification for a news article on the site IFLScience. It is illustrated with a picture of a NASA building and the headline below reads "NASA responds to claims that interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is an advanced alien spacecraft"
