AI can generate stunning images in seconds. It can also get things very wrong - sometimes obviously, sometimes subtly.

In this episode of Everyday AI for Everybody, we break it down with one simple rule: 

When AI sounds confident, don’t assume it’s right.

We explore why AI makes mistakes. Most errors come from three simple reasons:

  • It hasn’t seen this pattern before

  • It fills in gaps instead of stopping

  • It doesn’t have enough information to guess correctly

And all of this is made worse by one thing: AI sounds confident even when it shouldn’t.

We break down how image generators actually work, play a quick game to predict when AI will fail, and share practical ways to use image generation without being misled by it.

Key takeaway:  “AI might get it wrong… but that just means we get to get it right!”
