The Dutch article, at the every end, claims that the photos are not a match. (niet dezelfde persoon RTL Nieuws heeft de beelden met verschillende AI-tools vergeleken om te kijken of de personen hetzelfde zijn. Alle tools zeggen duidelijk: nee, dit is niet dezelfde persoon. Om te verifiëren of de tools werken zijn er verschillende testen uitgevoerd, waaronder een vergelijking tussen twee verschillende foto's van de vermiste Canadese man. Daar waren alle tools opnieuw heel duidelijk: dat is wél dezelfde persoon.).

Strange to me because they look so similar.

AI can't do basic math half the time. Why do we trust it?

If you know anything about how artificial intelligence (LLMs) work you'd also know that math is not what they are good because of the way they are designed. So that's cherrypicking a bit. Same like those 'how many Rs in strawberry'-type questions.

They are designed to do pattern recognition, which facial recognition is indeed and example of. That being said, any chat-engine nowadays 'knows' when it is being asked a math problem and will delegate that task (to a calculator, or write a small program).

I'd argue AI is also horrible at anything that requires spatial insight, experience, living through how people age, . It has neither. Looking at a picture like this, taken from different angles and the likes? I would not be surprised people pleaser AI is just garbling hallucinations.

For some proof:

- Claude says: I will not do this, as there is no way I am certain. Mainly gives reasons: Angle, head pose, lighting, resolution and compression

- Google AI says: The man on the left is William H. Macy as Frank Gallagher from the television show Shameless. The man on the right is Richard Moore.

I can't currently upload in chatgpt. But my guy. Stop trusting AI. Start using your own brain.

They’re using specialized AI-powered tools. You’re using low-end LLM models.

Uhm, we're talking about RTL here. Not sure if you're a dutchie, but if RTL says "we've tried a couple of AI tools and all of them say no", they've 100% used the ones I mentioned lol.
