@GaryMarcus @pli_cachete It's fine to test image generation if you want to understand the capabilities or deficiencies of image generation.

It's misleading to test image generation to answer questions that LLMs can answer perfectly fine via text, and then say LLMs don't understand that concept.

@justjoshinyou13 @pli_cachete I have tried multiple models and presented data (my own and others).

There is nothing wrong with testing multimodal image generation.

@pli_cachete @GaryMarcus testing LLMs on knowledge by asking them to draw pictures is insane.

GPT-4o image gen is probably a lot worse than 2022 LLMs at answering your questions through drawing. according to Gary, 4o therefore experienced a huge regression when OpenAI added image capabilities

@GaryMarcus o3 doesn’t generate images, it makes a call to a different model. With how much you discuss this don’t you think it’s worth spending a few minutes learning about them?

The statement is part of a technical discussion about the capabilities of AI models in generating images and understanding concepts. It humorously critiques the AI's ability to render text and make legal chess moves, suggesting limitations in its functionality. The tone is light and somewhat sarcastic, focusing on the technical performance of AI models.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not cause harm and is part of a technical critique. [+1]
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement uses humor to promote understanding of AI limitations. [+1]
