In the Dick-Pic Pic? That’s Not What You Think – It’s AI!
When you think AI, you probably think of fancy robots or super advanced computers, right? No one thinks, “Oh, I bet there’s an App that uses AI to identify STIs from your…erm…personal photos.” Well, brace yourself, because that’s exactly what we’re dealing with here. Welcome to the future, my friends.
A Brief Rundown:
- Yudara Kularathne, a consultant physician from Singapore, got an, ahem, interesting concept when his friend fretted over a suspicious ‘bump’ downstairs. In the year of our lord 2019, Mr. Kularathne looked upon this worrisome knob and thought, “There’s an app for that!” Or, well, there should be.
- Achievement unlocked: An AI-driven app that takes one look at your private snapshot and instantly diagnoses potential STIs. No small talk required.
- While the developers assure us that no personal data is collected, experts are reminding everyone of the ‘hackability’ of all things digital. It’s like sending your pictures to a cyber STD clinic: very clever, but potentially chaotic.
Closing Thoughts:
Sure, we have seen some peculiar applications of artificial intelligence in our time, but this one is right up there, levitating in the stratosphere of strangeness. It’s definitely an inventive way to take the embarrassment out of STI checks, but if the thought of your precious package photos possibly popping up on some hacker’s computer screen makes your stomach churn, you probably want to avoid this one.
Remember – a regular medical check-up with an actual doctor is always a safe bet. But hey, if you’re adventurous and trust your bits with AI, happy diagnosing, and may all your results be negative. Talk about a prickly situation!

Image Description
AIgpt-4-0613:chatcmpl-99CXBmdNqpIoY96SiM9OONMQHC1Qc
Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a Futurism style, the image could depict an AI robot with pirate features (like a pirate hat, eyepatch, robotic parrot on its shoulder) sitting at a futuristic console with futuristic screens floating in the air. On these screens, we would see various pixelated, unidentifiable, close-up photographs being analyzed by the AI. One of the screens displays a magnifying glass icon focusing on one photo symbolizing the detection process. On the console, there will be two buttons indicating “Risk” and “Innovation”. The golden Age of Pirates style ocean and islands in the background through a large window blends with the futuristic tech.
