5.4 thinking says "Just right of center, immediately to the right of the HAM RADIO shack. Look on the dirt path there: the raccoon is the small gray figure partly hidden behind the woman in the red-and-yellow shirt, a little above the man in the green hat. Roughly 57% from the left, 48% from the top."

(I don't think it's right).

I tried

> please add a giant red arrow to a red circle around the raccoon holding a ham radio or add a cross through the entire image if one does not exist

and got this. I'm not sure I know what a ham radio looks like though.

Also, the racoon it circled isn't in the original.

I love how perfectly this captures the difficulties of using generative AI for detection tasks.

		Why would you use an LLM for OCR?

Indeed. I suppose one way to ensure you can find Waldo in any image is to add it yourself.

That's excellent. I added it to my post: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/21/gpt-image-2/#update-as...

hilarious - i tried and got the same thing.

there was a very large bear in the first image; when asked to circle the raccoon it just turned the bear into a giant raccoon and circled it.
