My wife was in China recently and was sending back pictures of interesting things - one came in while I was driving and my iPhone read out a description of the picture that had been sent - "How cool is that!" I thought.
However, when I stopped driving and looked at the picture the AI generated description was pretty poor - it wasn't completely wrong but it really wasn't what I was expecting given the description.
It’s been surprisingly accurate at times “a child holding an apple” in a crowded picture, and then sometimes somewhat wrong.
What really kills me is “a screenshot of a social media post” come on it’s simple OCR read the damn post to me you stupid robot! Don’t tell me you can’t, OCR was good enough in the 90s!
The description said "People standing in front of impressive scenery" (or something like that) - it got the scenery part correct but the people are barely visible and really small.
