If I&#8217;ve got your attention, keep reading &#8211; I&#8217;ve got a great example to showcase my argument.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-fc72462e-080e-4b92-a2b9-37acb8cbfe7e\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-viral-failure-3\">The viral failure<\/h2>\n<p id=\"edfff75a-9095-4e0b-a249-491c8f774344\">While browsing Reddit earlier this week, I stumbled across a thread where a user had asked ChatGPT a simple question related to an image. ChatGPT, however, couldn&#8217;t figure out that the whole purpose of the question was to catch it out.<\/p>\n<p>The image was a screenshot of a famous optical illusion called the Ebbinghaus Illusion, which, in practice, makes your eyes believe two matching circles are in fact not the same size.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"382e167e-4926-42b0-b676-d7c641267dd7\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:3072px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:54.33%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ebbinghaus Illusion\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7-320-80.jpg 320w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/mailinvest.blog\/wp-content\/themes\/breek\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/ecwah3TLNPh5jmjkus2TS7.jpg\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: National Geographic)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"efe6a252-8515-4242-b12f-2785e391d062\">However, while a human looking at the image above for an extended period of time is able to determine that both orange circles are the same size, some simple image manipulation completely confuses AI.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-jytSpe2GhDsVV3CNcSNDY5\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-jytSpe2GhDsVV3CNcSNDY5 slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The image the initial author of the Reddit thread uses is modified so that one circle is clearly smaller than the other.

Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I, just like the person who came up with this original idea, was obviously trying to catch out AI, but the problem is, this example is just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n<p>You see, I argued and argued with ChatGPT to try and get it to reason within itself and decide that the orange circle on the left was in fact bigger than the one on the right. Yet despite trying for about 15 minutes, I couldn&#8217;t get ChatGPT to budge; it was convinced it was right, despite being oh so wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Which makes me think, in its current state, what&#8217;s the point of this magical AI? If it can&#8217;t be right 100% of the time, is it actually a useful tool? If I need to verify the information I ask it, and fact-check its answers, am I really getting any use out of this technology?<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, if AI is right 99% of the time (which it&#8217;s not), then it&#8217;s not good enough to work convincingly for its intended purpose. If Deep Research tools still need to be checked to make sure there are no mistakes, you&#8217;re better off compiling the research yourself.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s my issue with AI. Until it can be 100% accurate 100% of the time, it&#8217;s just a gimmicky tool that can do some things well and other things poorly. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I do think ChatGPT and other AI tools are effective and can complete some tasks. However, to become the groundbreaking technology that Altman and co want you to think they are, these tools need to completely erase mistakes &#8211; and quite frankly, we&#8217;re nowhere near that reality.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-you-might-also-like\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-you-might-also-like\"><span>You might also like<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<iframe data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.fiverr.com\/gig_widgets?id=U2FsdGVkX18x7XQvttUTrv1oEqmGNGTgvvCUiUoJ\/AP4z\/UyMz8lXGOLpu15jIMxBbTR0gmD5uBoFvhC4KWeALQRp3h\/X\/AwcVD0K8Wj9H\/ZzYKzcCNHosB9oS4SCJJFWiN85P9ICAc4OgCoE\/wHKIY7CDkf2\/DQ1vqGvk4smVe5cRDEmrLPCWi4FC8p40VUhSmWQ5udCm0zoJtorgWv3vbDQw0kKYkwn39ozAnQXDe+YvWMxkLFWA+O3TFwkJvdkIK+\/AUSnRssPKt5WHY0FhNOxnSPcLslEL4G4\/RfP95ve99U+kRnDy3X+KtzdQLY+u935ghON\/o3UE4IMv9oN6JX9RnxzL\/LRcOgnHigxStSGPKsZYtnz8RWNVT\/rOLAibqiWJadC5MYHRbekF3eg6FOGrQGkXYbsn0+a5aovnlLCbLwIqY9fcS17UX8J235iQ6cdmHNbrPeS84CMm34RA==&affiliate_id=1052423&strip_google_tagmanager=true\" loading=\"lazy\" data-with-title=\"true\" class=\"fiverr_nga_frame\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"350\" width=\"100%\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-mode=\"random_gigs\" onload=\" var frame = this; var script = document.createElement('script'); script.addEventListener('load', function() { window.FW_SDK.register(frame); }); script.setAttribute('src', 'https:\/\/www.fiverr.com\/gig_widgets\/sdk'); document.body.appendChild(script); \" ><\/iframe>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/ai-platforms-assistants\/chatgpt\/if-chatgpt-can-be-fooled-by-this-simple-optical-illusion-why-should-i-trust-it-with-anything-else\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn OpenAI&#8217;s advertising and marketing or take heed to a quote from the corporate&#8217;s CEO, Sam Altman, and you would be forgiven for considering ChatGPT&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":92864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-universe"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>If ChatGPT can be fooled by this simple optical illusion, why should I trust it with anything else? - mailinvest.blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Technology is forever changing, and there are always new pieces of technology to replace obsolete ones.
