It's a question that regularly comes up after a few drinks in the pub: what's the biggest animal you think you could beat in a fight? While many people have conservative answers, others reckon they could take on huge creatures. To settle the debate once and for all, MailOnline turned to everyone's favourite AI bot, ChatGPT. The bot claims that a'well-prepared' person would stand a chance against large dog, a wild boar, or even a leopard. However, it adds that'attempting to fight any animal is highly risky and not advisable.'

The UK is home to 92 counties, each with its own distinctive look and feel. Now, a film editor has tasked artificial intelligence (AI) with putting faces to these counties - with hilarious results. Duncan Thomsen, 53, used the software Midjourney to create images of'average people' in 13 counties. The results suggest that the average residents in County Antrim are young with red hair, while people living in Anglesey are elderly (and wrapped up for the cold weather!). So, do you agree with what AI thinks the average people look like in your county?

As if the internet wasn't already bizarre enough, the deluge of weird AI art created by image generators such as DALL·E 2, MidJourney and Craiyon is making things even stranger. From crossbred cartoon characters to surreal food, apocalyptic selfies muppet fashion shows and – erm – people with tennis balls for heads, DALL·E 2 and others seem to be able to create any weird AI art you can describe in their prompt boxes – with varying degrees of success. Of course DALL·E 2 and other AI art generators don't think of these outlandish things themselves and don't'know' what they're helping users to create. They run text prompts through the databases of millions of images and captions that they've learned. This means the results are only as weird as users' own imaginations. There are plenty of existential concerns about where this could all be going and what it means for human artists, but AI won't be taking over the world and turning us into slaves yet.
