I’d just wrapped up my icon morph experiments when I saw the new iPhone Duo status icons. The animation kept showing up on my feed, and it was too good not to try rebuilding for the web. The whole thing is made with SVG paths.

A smart QR-based digital menu platform for modern restaurants.
The menu-first framing makes the value proposition easy to grasp, and the phone-plus-table setup grounds the product in a real restaurant context. I’d be interested in how the ordering flow handles edge cases like sold-out items.
Why AI Is Still Unreliable ...
(and will probably remain like that)
Many today fear losing their jobs and businesses because of the rise of artificial intelligence. This is, of course, a justified fear that many people have. A machine that can generate long pieces of text in minutes, that can create incredible images and videos, that can generate code and translate discourses in over 150 languages.
Who hasn't thought of the possibility of AI replacing many of us, i.e., taking our jobs?
But there is a real-life example that shows why AI is unreliable and why humans will always be needed, even with the dawn of such interesting technology.
When AI Decieves Hundreds of People
A couple of days ago, hundreds of people landed in the city of Jurilovca, in Southeast Romania. There, many believe, was an annual fish festival, where people could listen to good music, drink wine, and, of course, eat fish.
However, things turn out completely wrong. There was no festival in this city, and nobody had ever planned for one in this city. The mayor did not know about it, not even the town's drunk.
So how did we end in such a situation?
The Failure of AI
The people who arrived in the city of Jurilovca were taken there by various travelling agencies. These agencies got the information that a fish festival would be held in the city from ChatGPT.
Yes, because ChatGPT told them that there will be a fish festival in that city, and many of these professionals in the tourism industry organized trips there without even verifying whether the information is correct or not. In other words, they entrusted ChatGPT, an LLM.
The Moral of the Story
ChatGPT is only a tool that can help you speed up certain tasks and be a helpful companion in research. However, it can never replace a human. Just like some people were fooled about a so-called fish festival in a small Romanian city, others might
- get pieces of code full of errors
- receive bad translations from one language to another
- craft articles full of misinformation and nonsense
- make plans that don't rise to the expectations
No matter how you put it, it is never a good idea to put your trust in AI blindly and completely.
