AI Football Commentary Was So Bad I Had to Watch the World Cup on Mute (Pet Peeves)

Andrew Miles Davis returns to one of his favourite recurring formats, sharing three things that have genuinely frustrated him with AI recently. He starts with MidJourney's stylisation quality noticeably declining since version 8, compounded by the complete absence of any feedback mechanism to flag a bad result before it costs credits. He then covers AI-generated football commentary on World Cup highlights that was so incoherent he had to watch on mute, a rare case where AI made an existing experience actively worse rather than simply falling short. The most significant pet peeve, and the one with real professional impact, is Claude's inconsistent memory, where carefully trained instructions and uploaded reference material get acknowledged and then ignored entirely, a pattern Andrew says is the actual reason he has scaled back his use of the platform.
