AI really is a bag of shite isn’t it.
I thought it would be a nice idea to have a world map marked with all the places I’ve visited on it so enlisted ChatGPT to help me. It decided Singapore was off the coast of South Africa and Tunisia had been relocated to where Senegal is, and renamed “Tunenea”.
Plan B is to just get a print of a world map and use some push pins
Really shouldn’t refer to the guy who made that image as an artist.
On the website named after the forest you can get a wall map that you scratch off the countries you been to – they’re usually less than a tenner.
I have one and there’s nothing more satisfying than grabbing a coin and exposing another country…
>A “well-placed source” told the publication that the art was created by artist Mat Collishaw, who is known for using AI to create well-reviewed art
“art”
“artist”
I’m very very rarely in favour of kicking people out of a job over one mistake. But the person who generated this and submitted it as a viable option should be disciplined to fuck. The cost of putting it up, then only to tear it down will be eye watering.
Did the “artist” not double-check his work, given the prominence of this piece?! Or maybe he did, and thought it would be hilarious to still put it up. The mind boggles, helplessly. AI is a barrel of dung.
When is business going to catch up with the rest of the world and understand that AI is shite.
Its absolutely insane to me that they’re willing to let so much slide in order to shoehorn it in where its not needed, but if a human makes 1 error its the end of the world.
I’m sure in 20-30 years we’ll have some nice niche uses for AI where all the kinks have been ironed out, but its genuinely insane to watch these buffoons fall over themselves to use something so primative that almost every sane person on the planet is shunning it. All this big push is doing is giving it a bad name that’ll be hard to shake when it actually is good. Bloody silicon valley and being 1 brain cell short of a glass of water goes hand in hand.
> One of the murals depicts a crowd of people splashing through ankle-length water, possibly invoking scenes of migrants crossing the English Channel
TIL The English Channel is Ankle-Deep.
For fucks sake. Pay a proper artist proper money to do a proper good job.
Not some AI grifter
