Someone published a paper about physiology in rat sperm cells and used AI to generate the images used in the paper and they, apparently, completely failed to do any sort of proofreading, since rat's penis wound up monumentally large and the labels in the image are nonsensical.

So two engineering fails, the AI producing amusing trash, and a bunch of people failed to do their jobs. Maybe three fails, since the "AI" obviously used "dck" instead of the more correct word "penis" or even the correct spelling of the word it did use.

This AI isn't going to take away anyone's job soon.

This is what they mean when they boast of how science is “peer reviewed”.
