AI Fails to Recognise Dec in Hilarious Ant and Dec Experiment
They seldom part ways for long, since they’re usually together due to the ongoing success of their television duo partnership.
However, an interesting twist emerged as the newly developed AI system, Grok (generated by X), proved less cooperative than expected. Instead, it managed to identify Ant McPartlin but failed utterly when faced with Declan Donnelly.
In a whirlwind of excitement, I couldn’t wait to tinker with the tech showcased in an Instagram video on Wednesday. As I played around, it dawned on me, almost instantaneously, that one of us had a definite edge when it came to the system’s affinity – it seemed to favor my partner over me!
Gazing fixedly at his computer screen, Ant, aged 49, started off by mentioning: ‘Have you heard about how X now has this advanced AI technology? It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for anything related to AI.’
Dec, 49, joked: ‘Why aye.’
Ant went on: “Indeed. Whenever I place you into Grok, something unusual occurs… Just observe, let’s simply begin with ‘Ant and Dec’…

astonished by the AI’s response, it displayed numerous images of Ant with an unfamiliar individual who bore no resemblance to his co-host, who is 49 years old.
‘Do you see the problem here?’ Ant said. ‘Who’s he? And who’s he? Who’s he?’
‘Ant and Dec are having cheese’ – looks like I’m doing the same thing myself. Eating cheese by myself – the second instance.’
‘Is you and Jeff Stelling,’ Dec butted in.
Ant mentioned: “The third one is myself, and the fourth one appears to be someone from a local recreational soccer league, not you… While skiing, there are two of me; one with a stranger…
‘Prince William,’ Dec said.
Ant continued: ‘Me and me in shades; and me and a girl. What the hell?’
Dec fumed: ‘I’m flabbergasted and I’m shocked and appalled.’

In simpler terms, they eventually inputted ‘Dec and a sausage roll’ as a last attempt to help the system figure out who Dec’s partner was.
Dec observed: ‘It’s just a sausage roll, for goodness sake.’
‘But it looks like a very tasty sausage roll though!’ Ant joked.
In 2023, the pair had already crossed paths with artificial intelligence, and they spent time attempting to understand it better by creating a sequence of amusing AI-generated visuals.
In an instant, the duo donned the attire of colorful figure skaters, sporting vibrant blue hair and dapper black bow ties.
The twosome swiftly changed into figure skating outfits with striking blue hair and fashionable black bow ties in a flash.
In another picture, they found themselves with creatures perched on their heads, all while being surrounded by swine and goats.
The TV pair drew some ideas from their stint as hosts of I’m A Celebrity, and they were pictured striking poses against a jungle setting while wearing outdoor clothing.
Afterward, the duo assumed the roles of tennis players, striking poses in front of a counterfeit tennis court that was equipped with rackets and polo shirts.

At the last shot, friends stood dressed in identical black shirts and white pants as they struck poses across the golf green.
Accompanying their Instagram post, they wrote: ‘So far, August has been quite idyllic with a touch of AI.’

In another place, Ant along with his wife, Anne-Marie, appeared to be a truly affectionate pair as they playfully swam in the ocean while enjoying their winter vacation in Barbados last month.
The couple playfully frolicked near the waterfront of the luxurious Fairmont Royal Pavilion resort on the west coast of a Caribbean isle, as Anthony struggled to resist touching his spouse.
A fellow hotel guest’s recording captured the couple having difficulty staying upright as the waves repeatedly hit them.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, let me tell you, I found myself giggling uncontrollably while observing Ant and Anne-Marie, both 46, gracefully navigating the waters, their hands intertwined for support, trying to maintain their balance with every wave.
In my role as a lifestyle expert, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of Ant and Anne-Marie, two vibrant individuals aged 46, attempting to stay afloat in the water while holding hands for support, all the while trying to keep their footing with each incoming wave.
As a devotee, I’d be thrilled to share my enthusiasm for the luxurious Fairmont Royal Pavilion, a haven that has graced the presence of notables like Kylie Minogue and Justin Bieber. The starting price for a night’s stay, post taxes, hovers around $2298 (£1,862). These suites offer an awe-inspiring panorama of the ocean that leaves one spellbound.
