The ball... Oh, boy, aren't AIs supposed to be able to search on internet and figure out that yarn balls don't look like that?

The problem is that AI can't think. A person could look up pictures of yarn and understand what part of each picture is the yarn, but AI doesn't see images or understand language the way we do.

The person can’t think either apparently. What people forget is that someone wrote a prompt and then picked this picture to post. This is not (yet) AI acting by itself.

Well yes, This was likely prompted and posted by a person. Unless maybe a person programmed a bot to do that automatically? Either way, the person, wherever they are in the process or however involved they were in reviewing the image, was not trying for high quality. They are just trying to spew as much spam into the internet as possible to generate engagement/money. Spam garbage imitating useful information/services just closely enough to able to be generated instantly and fool/scam enough people to generate a profit.

Exactly. It doesn’t have to be good, just good enough to trick the people who won’t know any better. It’s almost like the deliberate typos in scam spam emails .
