AI's Limits Exposed: Why It Can't (and Shouldn't) Create Images of Extremely Low Body Fat
AI Image Generation Fails to Depict Extremely Low Body Fat: Health Concerns Highlighted A recent video by Maggie Perkins (@itsmaggieperkins) has brought attention to the limitations of AI in generating images of individuals with extremely low body fat percentages. Perkins attempted to use ChatGPT to create an image of a 78-year-old man with 4.8% body fat. However, the AI refused, stating that such a low percentage is medically extreme and potentially misleading from a health perspective. "AI will not even generate images of 4.8% body fat because it’s dangerous," Perkins explains in her video. "The lowest body fat percentage it will generate is 12-15%. Below 5% is ORGAN FAILURE." This highlights a significant limitation of current AI technology and raises questions about its ability to accurately depict medical realities. The video then presents an AI-generated image of the same man with a 12-15% body fat percentage, demonstrating a more realistic representation. The contrast between the AI's refusal to generate the unrealistic image and the resulting image underscores the importance of responsible AI development and the potential for misinformation. Perkins' video serves as a cautionary tale, reminding viewers of the limitations of AI and the importance of critical thinking when encountering AI-generated content. The video's popularity, with over 20,000 views in just a day, suggests a significant public interest in these issues.
