My phone displays a news feed whenever I turn on the web browser. Some of it is actual news. Most of it is click bait articles. Lately Collider has been using Artificial Intelligence to write their click bait articles. These robots are searching the internet for data, usually previously published articles, and using them to generate new articles. Something we once called plagiarism. Previously these articles were written by humans. Although I wouldn't cry over humans losing their jobs to AI. Writers of click bait articles were paid 1ยข for every four page views and had a one in a hundred shot that their article would be chosen to be in queue to be displayed as a click bait article.  So, how is HAL doing writing articles for Collider? Well, each article comes with a disclaimer: Generated With AI, Which Can Make Mistakes. While I have not bothered to click any of these articles, I did notice that maybe the AI isn't that good about picking out the illustrations for their articles. Here are just a few examples I have found and felt like capturing. See if you can spot the mistakes.

This AI generated song kept popping up as an advertisement on YouTube. This is the actual AI generated artwork on the screen while the song plays.


So many questions that YouTube failed to answer. How did the AI manage to misspell "flowers"?

Why is the sack the half mouse half human carrying square instead of round?

Why is he even carrying a sack?

Why did the AI choose to depict the male singer as a half human half mouse?

Why did it give him a tattoo of a spoon?


Some small town had a data center built against their wishes just to generate this.
