Warning: That AI translation tool nearly cost me a load in Laredo

I plugged a Spanish shipping manifest into a free AI translator last week and it told me the cargo was 'live chickens' instead of 'frozen poultry parts', which would have been a real problem with border patrol if I hadn't double-checked it myself, has anyone else caught an AI making a dumb mistake like that?

Wait, live chickens? That's not even a small mistake, that's a total category flip on something a customs agent would definitely notice.

Customs agents see thousands of boxes a day. A few chickens stuffed in a crate probably just blends in with all the other weird stuff they deal with.

Wait, @adam_patel, have you ever watched customs agents actually open stuff from overseas shipments? Those chickens would be making noise and moving around, not exactly subtle.
