The riddle is about the doctor dying in a car accident that injures the child, then the doctor at hospital can't operate because it's his child, how can that be? Because the doctor is the mother.
The 'AI' sees "doctor" "child" "accident" and "?" and thinks it's the riddle. This turtle-on-a-post trap for the AI tricks it into disparaging the mother for no reason.
A person might have said they don't know why, or maybe the doctor warned the child not to be reckless, or other reasonable answer.
It's so weird to me that the top response is asking for context, and we're not 3 replies down and nobody has correctly quoted the joke.
"A young man is injured in a car accident. The doctor says, 'this is my son' but the doctor is not, in fact, the young man's father - how is this possible."
You left own "not his father" and therefore your version isn't a riddle.
It's from pre-Internet era so there's no real "correct" version, it spread by word of mouth.
The more elaborate version includes the father being killed, an ambulance, immediate surgery to play on your (rightful) bias that an emergency surgeon is a man.
It doesn't have "not his father" and is carefully written to avoid pronouns to avoid putting you on that it's about gender.
Of course being operated on in the emergency room by a woman should be unthinkable - who tf would want that.

Taken literally it sounded like an answer from that impossible 1 guy.
Aha. Now that explains it. I never heard of that riddle so I didn't know what the hell was going on in that image.
