I'm now envisioning a sci-fi future where the AIs are an embodiment of xkcd #606. Far better than humans at mundane tasks but with significantly outdated cultural knowledge.

There are humans today that refer to Africa as the 'third world' even though it's a continent with countries more developed than some US states or European countries.

Significant outdated cultural knowledge seems the norm for humans too.

Are they using "third world" in its original sense of non-alignment?

As someone in a US state with blackouts to our power grid, I'm wondering what more developed things you might be referring to and I might be missing out on.
