I heard on the news this morning that some plant based beverages have been recalled across Canada due to possible listeria contamination. When I later walked by the empty cooler shelves at a local store, this yellow-and-red tag was next to all the price labels where the recalled products usually sit.
I know the tag must have something to do with the recall, but what is it supposed to be telling me? There was no information posted about the recall or what to do if I had already purchased product, which luckily I hadn’t. Is the tag telling me to call someone? Is it a re-call? Colour me perplexed.
It’s almost as if they prompted ChatGPT “make a banner in yellow and red depicting recall”. There’s no obvious connection to anything real, but you can sort-of see how recall, call and callback are statistically close enough for LLMs to associate them in output because it doesn’t know contextual meaning.
To me that banner fails the Reverse Turing test, i.e. the assumption everything is generated these days isn’t disproven. 😀
Never thought of it being AI generated, Ton, but now I really want to know if it was! It
