AI image recognition systems can be tricked by copying and pasting random objects

Re: elephant in the room

"Not a very useful "AI" - you could expect an image of just about anything in a room as an almost limitless variety of "ornaments" on display in peoples homes."

That was my thought too. A main living room in almost any house is always going to have something in it you've likely never seen before, but as a human, you'd probably be able to identify almost instantly, even in the background "clutter" of the rest of the scene. From here, I can see a pair of stylised china Siamese cats from Thailand, a pair of rabbits made from seashels bought in Maurtitous, a wooden carved elephant from Nairobi, A touristy "Faberge egg" from Moscow and a welsh slate clock that's basically a grey square with pointers, no numbers or other markings. I'm not sure what any AI would make of most of those.

Oh, nearly forgot, a Tricerotops too. Proper, realistic-type thing, not a kids toy!)
