There’s something very wrong with this roast dinner… can YOU work out what it is?

There’s something very wrong with this roast dinner… can YOU work out what it is?

  • Yorkshire puds and gravy – the Sunday Roast is a meal integral to British identity
  • It is believed to have its origins in medieval times, around the 12th century

Potatoes, Yorkshire puds, gravy, meat and veggies – the Sunday Roast is a meal integral to British identity.

It is believed to have its origins in medieval times, around the 12th century, when village serfs were rewarded with roasted ox by their masters after church. 

At first glance, these plates show golden roast potatoes, billowing Yorkshire puddings, a perfectly juicy joint and lashings of gorgeous gravy. 

But take a closer look and the traditional dish appears more and more suspicious.

Artificial intelligence has generated several photos of the traditional dinner, including all the trimmings.

A user on Reddit shared the images, however it was unclear how the AI created the pictures or what software was used. 

The technology also appears to have failed to correctly form a Yorkshire pudding and struggled with the much-loved roast potatoes.

Other users on the discussion website were quick to point out some of the culinary blunders.

One said: ‘AI doesn’t seem to have worked out WTF a Yorkshire pudding is

‘Variously appears as a bagel, a bun, and a cut open jacket potato. One even looks like a little meat pie.’

Another commented: ‘I find it quite funny that it decided to include a lemon. 

‘I think it was probably trying to make potatoes but for some reason made a lemon instead.’

A third said: ‘Nothing better goes with a sphere of meat, than an entire lemon, sliced in three.

‘To be fair, some of them look mighty delicious. And I’ve seen bagels and croissants accompanying British style meals for no apparent reason many a time in places like China and Japan.’

A final user added: ‘I like how a traditional British Sunday roast comes with a glass of red wine and a cup of tea.’

It comes after a cybersecurity expert warned that deepfake AI has the potential to undermine national security. 

Dr Tim Stevens, director of the Cyber Security Research Group at King’s College London, said deepfake AI – which can create hyper-realistic images and videos of people – had potential to undermine democratic institutions and national security.

Dr Stevens said the widespread availability of these tools could be exploited by states like Russia to ‘troll’ target populations in a bid to achieve foreign policy objectives and ‘undermine’ the national security of countries.

He added: ‘The potential is there for AIs and deepfakes to affect national security.

‘Not at the high level of defence and interstate warfare but in the general undermining of trust in democratic institutions and the media.

‘They could be exploited by autocracies like Russia to decrease the level of trust in those institutions and organisations.’
