AI image generators might have largely have overcome their initial inability to depict the right number of fingers on a human hand, but it seems it still struggles to get the right number of members in Queen. Fans of the rock group had a fright this week when guitarist Brian May posted an image of what appeared to be a tribute act from an alternative digital reality.
People were soon relieved to learn that May was not sharing artwork for an upcoming collectors' edition but issuing a call to arms against AI data centres. The guitar legend said he had asked Meta AI to recreate the cover of Queen's 1980 album The Game. But The image generator, created by the same company that thinks "pervert glasses", was clearly unfamiliar with the band's synth era.
