alt Hacker NewsWhat a dumb article. The picture of the sandwich is essentially just a picture of bread. You can’t see what’s inside. A human wouldn’t be able to tell you. These are essentially AI hit pieces.

And it can be made better easily. Take a picture of the nutrition label of the bread and cheese first and then feed in this picture and you should get way better results

As a diabetic I have done this exact exercise: Look at photos and guess carbs. Two slices of bread is easy mode.
Why assume trick ingredients?
This is based on a real app that someone is selling to real people. It's not a hit against AI, but it is very much a legitimate hit against uses of LLMs for this purpose.
Also, if LLMs worked as they are often advertised, they should have easily been able to answer "there isn't enough information in this picture to give you an accurate estimate. Try taking a picture of the label, or at least of the inside of the sandwich, or list the ingredients used".
