AI Accidents: A Rogues’ Gallery
Inspired by the nineteeth-century police “Rogues’ Galleries”, this collection documents the strange, funny, and revealing ways generative AI can mislead us.
Stories of machine mischief, human confusion, and unexpected delight.
Each case captures a moment where fluent language collides with human judgement. Some are obvious mistakes. Others are surprisingly persuasive.
Together they form a training set for learning how AI behaves and how we respond to it.

⚠️ These examples capture generative AI behaviour at a moment in time. As systems evolve. some details may become outdated. The patterns they reveal, however, remain valuable for understanding human judgement in the age of AI.
