I tried to see what objects would be recognized incorrectly as a penis. Among what I tried: pencil (no), banana (yes), bacteriophage (no), ebola (no), uterus (no), sperm (no), pinnochio (yes), skyscraper (no), saguaro (no), racecar (no), flying saucer (no), rocketship (no), NCC-1701 (no), TIE fighter (no), Serenity (no), Amazon logo (no).

I was very surprised at pinnochio. It had two eyes and a nose and a big smile. Yet the AI saw something completely different.



I'm sorry, I drew about 50 faces with phallic noses. It probably learned from me.


Drawing "negative three" is immediately recognized as a penis, with an even higher probability if I assign that to "c".
