AI Failure: https://flic.kr/p/2rPREqwI took this picture at the Wandsworth Park Eco Fair. My wife wanted to use it on an e-card for a friend's birthday but it had a small post in front of the left-hand horse that looked untidy. So she used ChatGPT to remove the post. It did that superbly; however, after she'd emailed the birthday message she noticed that the AI programme had added a head on to the arse of the right-hand horse. (I can assure you there wasn't a mutant horse in Wandsworth Park!) Fortunately our friend has a good sense of humour 🙂 When I was chatting to someone recently who works for a large AI company providing solutions to financial services companies he did agree that a mechanism for sanity checking AI's outcomes was still necessary ... I don't think AI is about to take over the world yet ...
