A couple of my more common reactions:

"I have no idea how to deal with this, so it must not be happening. The end."

You probably need to force a refresh, somehow. I was going to make a joke about the dilemma between AI and unpaid interns, but I am reminded that you have to use screen capture for that instead of a link.

Just censor it with something ridiculous, in relevant countries. Having the actual characters mock the restrictions is even better.

"Oh no, there's only one large bed in our bedroom, wife, I suppose I must always sleep on the couch."

"Don't be silly, husband, we shall alternate days."

No wolves in the UK since the 17th century. Don't tell the coyotes; road runners might prefer warmer, drier climes, but coyotes will happily eat cats.
