The Vietnam Poker Image that AI Couldn’t Handle

Last week I reported on the cancellation of the WPT Prime event in Vietnam and how that negatively affects the prospects for future live poker events in the country. It has since been reported on social media that the spate of cancellations seems to be confined to events in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi and that events in other parts of the country are still taking place with no issues. Nevertheless, the lack of clear information flow on the situation will dent the confidence of international operators and players alike.

And while Vietnam is struggling to host poker events, it seems that AI image generator DALL.E is also having issues to produce an image of poker being played in Vietnam. After writing the article, I thought I’d use AI to generate a pic to accompany the story. I imagined a scene in a typical outdoors setting in Vietnam and requested a wide version, to avoid having to resize it for the PokerWired homepage.
