Why’d it add a country?

u/IdleMindSprings 15h ago

I think it was going for Nigeria? The Tita are apparently a small indigenous group there (~7,000 people).

Even if you assume that there's a space between the a and the n, though, that's a pretty obscure bit of trivia to pull out of nowhere.

Tbh I thought this was done for the lols, and I wasn’t sure if I should believe you, so I repeated it. I saved your original photo and extended it with Siri, the same way you did

I got exactly the same, erm, results

u/Seeker_of_Solos 20h ago

u/No-Strawberry7 20h ago

i’m sorry for not explaining but this is Apple Intelligence’s new Extend feature. It lets you expand a photo beyond its original frame, and AI generates whatever would theoretically be outside the original shot.

u/Tractorface123 14h ago

I hate that, I want to see a real photo not some fake ai shit

u/AttitudeEquivalent73 1h ago

Fr, why would I want made up bs? I’d rather have a real picture even if it’s dogshit because the point is to have the memory not look super good or whatever.

u/isaacfisher 10h ago

it's nice if you just need to extend enough to center the people or something like that, and the addition is predictable and minor (like, keeping the pavement pattern or adding skies)

u/Nero92 7h ago

That just sounds like photography skills need work.

u/Zakluor 20h ago edited 20h ago

This added context is important -- and terrible in this example.

Edit: I know Niger is the name of a country. AI added to the name of a vessel, a name that's almost complete in the original image, the name of a country that is totally irrelevant to the rest of the scene. Was there ever a vessel named "TITANIGER"? Surely there was something closer all over the internet that it could have found to finish the image if it was "Super Intelligence". How is this not a terrible product?

u/Ruby_Solitaire 17h ago

In this timeline I think Apple just bets we'll be happy that it only added one G. 

('Cause AI is racist. That's the joke. Also the reality.)

u/SilverNeptuneAbyss 19h ago

How is a product terrible just because it's not perfect?

This analogous to a bad product that we didn't ask for that isn't ready for public consumption. It's being put out there, jamming its way into everything.

It would be better if so many people weren't so willing to believe everything they see and read. That may be the fault of the willing believers, but it's becoming a problem for the rest of us.

Thanks for providing context. How'd you have time to make a post but provide not an ounce of info about what you were trying to start a conversation about?

u/NikkoJT 6h ago

I don't think this was hard to figure out. The second image has a big caption saying "your photo has been extended" on it. If you can read and you're aware that AI photo manipulation (unfortunately) exists, it's not exactly a complex logic puzzle.

Not when you consider AI learns from us.

edit- My comment metrics indicate some down votes were received. Quelle surprise. Consider the following. (Should you have the necessary attention span to do so.)

Google strikes $60 million deal with Reddit, allowing search giant to train AI models on human posts https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-reddit-60-million-deal-ai-training/

Then this happened:

Reddit Considers a Bold Move: Cutting Off Google's Access for AI Training https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/07/28/reddit-considers-a-bold-move-cutting-off-googles-a/

Interesting to note that the latest development has more to do with profit rather than morality.

u/JohnGarmin 16h ago edited 16h ago

isn't this just what happens when you use the unmoderated internet (and thus training data) as the source of all this "intelligence"? We've seen so many AI accounts turning into "mechahitler" and whatnot, so aren't these sorts of artefacts just expected when these models training data involved every single corner of the internet just generally seem to naturally lean that way?

A bit like pouring milk into a cup of coffee, no? Pour enough right wing nonsense into a cup of knowledge, the entire cup gets homogenised into something totally unusable.

Now, if an AI can somehow remove these extreme artefacts at a molecular level, bringing the cup back to black coffee, then I'll be impressed.

Except they're not. And they're praying we all use it to make sure that the money they're all haemorrhaging on datacentres is worthwhile economically in the future, regardless of the societal/Overton shift they're causing. Total sunk-cost fallacy.

u/trygvebratteli 15h ago

It is to a certain extent, but worth noting that the MechaHitler incident concerned Grok, which was pretty much designed to be a right-wing extremist bot (just not that obviously).

38

u/tmunoz168 19h ago

That either the ai is totally stupid or the training data and the learning algorithm taught the ai that a boat with the word titanic on it obviously should be a boat with the word titaniger. Their is a reason why ai chooses certain words.

It's pretty simple if you think about it instead of being the personification of 🤔

u/ThePafdy 17h ago

Because the underlying statistical model, based on the data its trained on, decided the most likely ship name starting with titani is „titaniger“.

Thats some strange training data.

-5

u/SilverNeptuneAbyss 17h ago

Not really.

Just an example of too much data giving you noise.

Tell me again about these "suspicions"

4

u/ThePafdy 17h ago

There should not be noise in such a specific, and well defined datapoint though. Its not like there are multiple ships with similar names or the Titanic being some nieche thing.

It literally missed in what is probably the best case szenario, and made a slur sounding name up. Thats kind of sus.

Probably to extend the image out of frame and append it to the photo. Why are we doing anything besides eating shitting and sleeping?

u/Individual_Author956 13h ago

Because sometimes you have a picture in the wrong aspect ratio.

u/esperind 12h ago

there is a use case where you often need to fit a picture into different size formats. yes it would be ideal to say "just take the picture with enough room for you to crop to what you need". but the real world doesnt usually work that way, you gotta work with what you have.

I didn't know what it is either, but as I have two eyes and a brain I can read and understand without the need of someone feeding all possible information down my throat for me to get something.

There's a boat that looks like the Titanic, on the second picture it says "Titaniger" and the bottom reads "this picture has been extended, tap to see the original" and OP is infuriated about the Apple Intelligence feature, what exactly is there not to understand lmao

1

u/frenchyy94 8h ago

As a German, I didn't know what apple intelligence is, and also in German it could simply be a funny name, as in "Titaniger" (which you could interpret as the ship that is more titan/titanic than the titan/titanic). Could be somewhat of a play on words and reference to the titanic. Dunno hard to explain but that was where my mind went to first.
