ChatGPT was asked to turn a professionally designed bathroom rendering into a photorealistic image. Instead, it completely enclosed the shower behind a wall of cabinets—with no door and no way to get inside!
Laurel started over, but the next attempt created even more design problems. The closet disappeared, the cabinetry changed, the L-shaped vanity moved to the wrong wall, and the wall that should separate the shower and vanity was missing.
AI can create impressive images, but accurate bathroom design requires more than a picture that looks realistic. Function, layout, measurements, and construction details still matter.
Watch Parts 1 and 2 of our ChatGPT design fail series to see how this experiment began.
