AI and Workers

Hi

This is a follow up post to Charles Waugh's post on AI Generates the wierdest tools . . .

I asked for an image of a worker repairing a roof...

Everybody knows it's unsafe to work on a roof without scaffolding, so I asked AI to provide scaffolding to support the worker, which AI did...

I asked for a worker to show wleding of a railway line, expecting an image of the Thermite welding process, instead I received an exceptionaly accurate response to my prompt, though totally inaccurate interpretation:-)

I particularly like the use of a single rail line - essentailly just like my prompt asked :-)
If you look closely it does appear the 'welder' is using a socket ratchet handle to perfrom the welding, interestingly without gas or electricity - who knew of the welding power of a socket wrench :-) :-)

I don't recall the prompt for this response, but AI obviously overcompensated with the rail count seemingly adding the missing rail from the earlier prompt :-)
