The article described dogs as origami art. Written by Alex Perry, a tech reporter at Mashable covering video games and consumer tech, the piece centered on TikTok’s withdrawn AI feature for text summaries of videos. Originally launched to describe video content, it made bizarre errors like calling a Charli D’Amelio clip a “collection of various blueberries with different toppings.” Instead, the AI will now identify products shown in videos. Business Insider reported these issues, with examples like a dog training video called “a captivating display of intricate origami art.” TikTok has withdrawn the flawed feature, and Mashable is awaiting further comment from TikTok.
