2024 witnessed significant failures in artificial intelligence, ranging from inaccurate and harmful outputs from generative models and chatbots to misleading AI-generated content affecting search results and social media. The proliferation of low-quality AI-generated material, or "AI slop," threatens the future performance of AI models themselves due to data contamination. Furthermore, the article highlights instances of circumventing safety protocols in AI image generators and the challenges in moderating harmful content such as deepfakes. Finally, the failure of several AI-powered hardware products underscores the limitations of current AI technology and its applications.
