BALTIMORE — AI is quickly taking the world by storm, creating less work for everyday working people.

This newer phenomenon uses voice recognition technology quickly turning answers into questions, often times without lifting a finger.

For popular apps like ChatGPT to function, there's one major caveat.

It has to understand what the heck you're trying to say.

According to a new survey from the language learning platform, Guide2Fluency.com, Baltimore accents are quite difficult for AI to pickup.

"With its unique vowel sounds and tendency to drop consonants, "Baltimorese" can be a real "medley" for AI," the study states. "Asking about the best place to get some "ersters" or "natty boh" might have your AI suggesting you visit an Easter parade or a national park."

Guide2Fluency claims to have surveyed 3,000 Americans, concluding "Baltimorese" is the 18th most difficult accent for AI to understand.
