I find it easily hallucinates this stuff. It’s understanding of a picture is decidedly worse then its understanding of words. Be careful here about asking if it needs a tire change it is likely giving you an answer that only looks real.

It's also something so trivial to determine yourself.

It blows my mind the degree that people are offloading any critical thinking to AI

There's a reason that people have to be told to not just believe everything they read on the Internet. And there's a reason some people still do that anyway.

I agree with you, my post was about not using AI to check tread depth and relying on a penny and your own eyesight instead, illustrated here: https://www.bridgestonetire.com/learn/maintenance/how-to-che...

You don't even need the penny most of the time, given most car tires have tread wear bars in the tread gaps you can just look at now.
