Tell us what happened

You asked an AI something. It answered confidently. It was wrong — and by the time you realised, something had already happened.

That's the story we want.

You're not the idiot in this story. Everyone here trusted a machine that sounded certain. That's the entire point of the archive.

A person reads every submission. Nothing is published automatically.
We publish your first name and your city. Never your email, your phone number, or your surname.
Funny counts. So do near-misses — the ones where you caught it just in time.
You can take it down at any point, and we'll erase what we hold.

The AI

Which AI was it?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, something else

Which version, if you know

Don't worry if you don't. Most people don't.

Roughly when? (optional)

The month and year is plenty. Leave it if you can't remember — we can check later.

What happened

What were you trying to do?

The ordinary thing you were getting on with when this started.

What did you ask it?

As close to your actual words as you can remember.

What did it tell you?

Paste it in if you still have it.

When did you realise something was wrong?

What made you stop and check?

What did it cost you — or nearly cost you?

Money, time, a rule broken, a reputation dented. "Nearly" absolutely counts.

If you want to add anything

How do you feel about AI now? (optional)

What would you tell someone else? (optional)

Is there a link we could look at? (optional)

A shared conversation, a news report, a post about it — anything already online. Don't worry if there isn't one.

How would you describe it? (optional)

Your call — we won't overrule it.

Brilliant — it did something better than I expected Funny — no harm done Awkward — embarrassing, but nothing broke Costly — it cost me money, time or face Serious — someone could have been hurt

Before you send this

Four separate things. Say yes to what you're comfortable with and no to the rest — the first two are the only ones we need to publish.

You can contact me about my story. So we can check the details with you before anything is published. We'll use your email or phone only for that. We won't publish until we've been able to reach you. You can publish my story. We'll publish your first name, your city, and what happened. We will never publish your email address, your phone number, your surname, your employer, or anything else that could identify you. You can withdraw at any time and we'll take it down. You can put journalists in touch with me. (optional) Newspapers, broadcasters and researchers sometimes ask to speak to the people behind stories. If you tick this, we may pass on your contact details to them — and we'll tell you who, before we do. You can say no to any individual request, and you can turn this off at any time. Leaving it unticked doesn't affect anything else. You can record me if we interview you. (optional) Some stories become short recorded conversations for the podcast. Ticking this doesn't commit you to anything — we'd ask again before recording, and you can say no then.

You can change your mind about any of this at any time — email info@rogueaistories.com with your reference code. We'll act on it within five working days. How we handle your information
