The Optical Illusion That Wasn't
This image circulating on Facebook was supposed to be a moralistic "both are right in their own way"-type of an image.
It shows two cartoon foxes debating a famous optical illusion, one that can look like either three or four bars, depending on perspective. At least, that was the plan.
Alas, the generative AI tasked with illustrating it simply drew three bars. No visual trick is involved now. The left fox confidently says "Four", the right fox says "Three", and the caption beneath them declares, "Who's right? It depends on how you look."
In this case, it really doesn't depend on how you look; one fox is just plainly wrong!
What we really see here is that generative AI lacks the ability to verify whether the logic of an image actually matches its intended meaning. It's an almost comical error; and it's good to know that as of now, AI models apparently struggle to create even classic optical illusions.
